it's a lot better now to the point you don't even need to search for drivers. I can't even recall the last time I had to search for drivers on Linux, it just has them and some people have even made drivers for the most obscure things that not even windows supports anymore. Hell a couple months ago I found a driver someone made for something called a "Dex Drive" which was an old dongle for Playstation Memory cards.

Linux is 10x easier today. Even running windows programs is a hell of a lot easier and in many cases work the exact same way as on Windows. double click the exe, install it, you're good to go.
