You don't have to pay anyone to sign a driver you write to use it yourself. With Windows you can write some software, but not all software. You have to pay Microsoft to sign drivers. The code that enforces that is the wall. No such code exists in a Linux. All is possible.
- deely3 4y agoJust to clarify - this is main difference between Windows and Linux, and this is why Windows by definition is walled garden? Actually, I think I'm ok with it. As far as I understand you don't need to sign USB drivers, and for other drivers signing is additional level of security.
