I don’t blame you, because it is quite a disaster, and is becoming all rolled up in the attempt to turn ‘Linux’ from a kernel into a ‘vertically integrated’ variant of MacOS. I’m actually using eudev, myself, but, regardless, never know when an update will render things like scanners non-working or at least give them incorrect access controls. I suppose it should be _possible_ to create the devices but would not be surprised if the task is non-trivial. Which is very, very un-Unix, and I think that really ought to be the end of it. I don’t mind fancy stuff but do mind when it is done in an extremely un-Unixy fashion.
