That is weird. Linux needs far fewer hardware resources than Windows. Software could be an issue. The only thing I could think of is existing hardware that is Windows only. I have a Fujitsu sheetfed scanner that is incompatible with Linux, for instance (no driver available). The old Winmodems were software based and would not work with Linux. That's a pretty small slice of the pie.

I need XP to run a vehicle diagnostic program using a USB to ALDL car connector.
It can run in a VirtualBox WinXP VM on a linux computer.

Used an HP scanner with Linux for many years.
Then sadly, the scanner died.
A good deal on a nice new Epson.
I worked with SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy ) until near insanity. Gave up and put it on a windows box.
