As a Linux user, I have had issues with different hardware and software in Linux.

Here is a pro-windows article based on problems of installing Linux and sound card issues.

  Langa Letter: Linux's Achilles' Heel.
<http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=18901660>

I will admit that I had no problems installing FC 1 on my new computer and it recognizing the sound card. I haven't been able to get ALSA working yet though. :(

As the issues with Video cards and hardware not being supported by manufacturers or allowing their "closed source" drivers from being distributed with Linux will be a stumbling block for Linux in the home.
