Linux, or rather all linux distros (linux is just the kernel) can already do
that. The main problem is, and has always been, drivers and that there's not that
many programs written for linux. Most are written for windows. Many hardware
manufacturers do not release (working) linux drivers or provied technical info on
how the device works. In that case, the task of coding a driver for linux means
reverse-engineering the hardware interface of the hardware. And that is quite
some work, so if there's not many that use that specific product, a driver will
probably not see the light of day.
