They have fear to answer, because if it should be possible, but then
anyway cause issues, they won't bear the blame. I very often experienced
hardware that should work with Linux, even when recommended by the
community, that didn't/doesn't work on my machine. If they would give
you an answer, they already would provide a little bit of Linux support.
To be fair, supporting hardware and drivers for Linux isn't easy,
because the advantage of Linux, it's diversity and continuously
development, is a drawback for this domain.
