I think the word here is "typically".  Typically one installs Windows
drivers from vendor websites (but not always - Windows comes with many
drivers of its own).  Typically one installs a new Linux kernel to get
all the new drivers.  Not always.  Not a universal rule.  But that's
the general method.

Please keep going with this piece - it's a very interesting and
balanced essay (IMHO).
