Jolla Review: Some Rough Edges, But This Linux Smartphone Shows Promise (Forbes)

I have a Nvidia chipset which I think is old enough to be unsupported by Nvidia, but since I never used Nvidia's drivers I haven't noticed any reduction in support. The free drivers do KMS, and I believe they can play 3D games, but I own supported hardware for playing 3D games on, so I didn't really try.

Probably there were dubious proprietary drivers for that webcam at some point too. Never tried them, if it doesn't work in free drivers then realistically (as you've observed) it will probably stop working soon and never work again, so why bother?

Eventually of course even the kernel developers stop caring. My first ever PC, if I still had it, wouldn't boot a modern Linux kernel. I don't ask for miracles, but it does seem as though Jolla doesn't give me most of what I'd actually care about. Thanks for your honesty, and good luck.
