This is not an accurate portrayal by any stretch.

"no linux drivers" - as someone pointed out, especially as regards legacy 
hardware support, Linux kicks Windows' ass.  The time it becomes a 
problem is when the manufacturer won't release specifications for the 
hardware so drivers can be created.

"a few" is a poor characterization at best.
