Most people who use Linux don't write their own drivers. The vast majority of drivers on a Linux system are actually built into the kernel itself. You don't go to a download site to get drivers, the kernel supports a very wide range of different hardware already.

Sometimes hardware can come with their own Linux drivers that need to be compiled and inserted into the kernel, but I don't know of any Linux driver websites, most of the time they're available directly from the manufacturer.

What hardware drivers do you need?
