No doubt part of the Wintel (intel + Microsoft) strategy to perpetually break non-windows platforms with new incompatible hardware like the switch over from the e1000 MT adapters to e1000 GT which are not backward compatible with the older chipsets.

I presume you mean breaking /windows/ platforms?

As I noted, Linux often supports the hardware from the "big" hardware vendors before Windows does.

They use Linux as a "rabbit" to push Microsoft into supporting something, with the "Linux supports it already" argument.
