That's why I haven't switched to Linux or BSD as my daily driver.  Dispite what the fanboys tell you, there's still a lot of incompatibility or even absence of drivers for various hardware.  I have a Canon flatbed scanner from the 2010s (I think) and there are no linux/BSD drivers for it, nor will SANE work with it.

What I'll probably end up doing is use Win10+VirtualBox when I need the scanner, which isn't often, but enough to need it.
