    Unfortunately this is not true. If manufacturers do not support Linux, then it is up to dedicated community members to reverse engineer drivers. Much love to these amazing people ❤️

    Things have gotten much better in recent years because now Linux is seen as a legitimate operating system and not just a platform for hobbyists.

      except when the manufacturer puts effort into locking out reverse engineers through cryptography.
