It doesn't have full linq support because it is too much (impossible much) work to write a full link provider. I don't think any full linq provider exists.

You can find the currently unsupported features in Jira.

There is no such thing as "full" LINQ support.

LINQ to anything except Objects is a leaky abstraction. Some operations that are trivial to express in an object model are hard to translate to SQL, and vice-versa.

That said, the LINQ provider in NH3 is quite usable, and a lot of work is being put into it (a lot of that will be visible in the 3.0.1 release, which will be out around 28/Feb/2011)

The good news is with NH you always have alternatives. If you can't do a particular query with LINQ, there's always HQL, Criteria, QueryOver and even SQL. They all integrate nicely with the rest of the stack.

No there are still some unsupported features. It's not a full LINQ implementation.
