That's good, but if all it does is come with binary drivers that happen to work on some particular Linux systems, then it's really only scratching the surface of supporting Linux.

Supporting Linux means open source drivers and/or protocol documentation are available.

I don't think you read that properly. If Ubuntu just worked out of the
box (as well as some other distributions, apparently), the drivers are
not only free software but also included in the popular distributions.
That's good.
