I don't fully understand how the PnP driver thing works. What's an example of how it'd be used?

I presume things like printer drivers for the Windows apps.

Does Roblox work? It plays in OpenGL mode but disconnects.

It for anti-cheat and copy protection and the like drivers will be the first usage.

Happened to run in response to hardware events. Not that it has to in fact run the hardware. So anti-cheat driver trapping

No wine printer driver does need installing. Its been a very long time since windows printer drivers have been used under wine. Applications look to the printer spool for what printers are available. This is a case the driver stack plays no real part from the application point of view. I am not saying the code will not in time be used todo this but short term no. Other things like anti-cheat drivers trapping input devices and the like will be first.
