I've been trying to use some web software tools designed to connect with hardware, which I thought were supposed to work on any platform. I've tested three different tools on various Chromium browsers, and while my device shows up in the browser, only Wooting's utility seems to function, and it requires specific instructions to set up. I'm wondering if this is an issue with Fedora or if other tools, like the Pulsar web utility, just aren't compatible with Linux systems. Has anyone else faced this?

WebUSB is still relatively new. If you have native applications, I wouldn't rely on these web-based options. For Wooting, there are specific instructions for setting it up on Linux—just create the udev rules as outlined in their guide, and you should be good to go with the AppImage. What other tools are you trying to use?
Yeah, Wooting's setup is easy enough! But I can confirm that the native utilities for both Pulsar and my audio mixer are Windows-only. Their web apps don't work on Fedora either. Honestly, I'm pretty used to issues like this on Linux. I might need to write a script for my Windows boot to remember some settings.
