This is so with any OS for which the modules are designed. Of course, if you try to use something in an unentended way, you get into trouble. No news here.

Yes, most things sadly are designed for Windows now, because it's a monopoly. Not a fault of Linux, but it does make it less attractive.

Yes all hardware is designed for either windows or windows and linux, never both and linux is always an after thought. That is why windows is superior from a usability standpoint.

Yes, it's not the fault of linux. But in the end that's not really what matters.
