What will you do after printing the pdf document, send it to legal? Lawyers are not humans, right? I agree to it's good for paper not for screen, everything else is just phony.
That's trivially correct. You can't get anything on a screen without a driver for your graphics card. You can't get any input from a keyboard without a driver for the keyboard.
However, Linux comes with drivers for more or less every audio interface that is possible to use on Linux. That is, there are essentially no 3rd party drivers - it either works with the drivers in the kernel(1) or it doesn't.
(1) depending on how your distro built the drivers. for the most part, things are OK.
