It's best to find a device you care about, that does not work on Linux,
to do something like this, as you are going to be working on it for a
while.

But the problem is, as you are finding out, that almost everything
already "just works" in Linux.  Turns out Linux supports more hardware
than any other operating system, sorry :)

Try digging around in shops that sell "odd hardware", that might be the
best way to find something like this.

good luck!
