+Many brand name products work without trouble on Linux. Moreover,
+hardware for Linux is improving daily. However, Linux still does not
+run as many different types of hardware as some operating systems.

+running version of Windows to work.

+Although some Windows-specific hardware can be made to run on Linux,
+doing so usually requires extra effort. In addition, Linux drivers
+for Windows-specific hardware are usually specific to one Linux
