fwiw, it would take 10 minutes to download a linux docker image and build it in go to test. The harder part is getting the information from a different API on Linux.

A Linux Docker image, probably doesn’t have any USB devices exposed to it-well, it depends on exactly how you run it, but e.g. if you use Docker Desktop for Mac, its embedded Linux VM doesn’t have any USB passthrough support. This is the kind of thing where a physical Linux host (laptop/desktop/NUC/RPi/etc) is much more straightforward than running Linux in a VM (or as a K8S pod in a datacenter somewhere)

... and orders of magnite more time to properly access USB devices to some arcane VM not in your control
