Out of tree foss drivers are still not affected since you could most of the time just recompile them to work with the latest kernel. Also when I said linux made proprietary drivers crap I meant that as a good thing. It lead to open source drivers where there otherwise would not have been. Some OEMs like AMD eventually went open source on linux while remaining proprietary on windows.
