How a device can be added in Linux?
Generally in Linux you can just plug in the device and go, no need to even install drivers because chances are they're already available. Once you plug in a device, a component of Linux called udev catches the messages from the kernel detecting the insertion of the hardware, searches its rules to see what the appropriate response for the device would be, then loads the appropriate kernel module for the device, all within at most a few seconds. It's definitely faster than Windows' response to Plug-and-Play. Sometimes you might plug in a device that doesn't have drivers in the kernel tree, in which case its best to first Google the device to see if there are any drivers you have to get yourself.
