Still possible though, right?
It does afterall support out of tree device drivers now.

Sure… but why would el cheapo hardware want/need to support proprietary drivers? Now, for premium hardware and software, they might still want vendor lock-in mechanisms… So unless you absolutely have to, you should avoid hardware on Linux that needs proprietary drivers.

So either way, it make it better to support Linux over MS Windows.
