This is the first I've read this, how much of a pain is it to use Linux instead? I don't have any Windows computers.

No issues at all. Not sure what drivers the author was referring to but using the web installer you pretty much just plug the phone in and click through some buttons.

Recently had a similar issue with Via, the app for keyboards. Basically, there was an issue with chrome talking to the hardware...Except some lifesaver recommended plugging my keyboard directly into my machine, bypassing the docking station (the thing causing me issues) and fixing my problem. So I've technically still never had a driver issue, only a shitty docking station experience.
