Sadly most manufacturers still don't care about linux support. If you are lucky sometimes there's a community alternative. But even then some of the advanced features may not work.

What you can do is check on their website which drivers they have available, and avoid buying stuff that doesn't have Linux support when possible.

With more adoption I hope that it becomes increasingly available, although in practice I've seen several products drop their Linux support due to low users. ๐Ÿ˜ข
