The devil is in the details.
Some companies are good at providing drivers for their devices for Windows, Mac, and sometimes x86 based Linux. However, if you are doing something with embedded systems that have a different processor (ie. an ARM based one), closed source drivers mean you are out of luck as far as using the device. -- Cheers!
