Hardware doesn't need to be too weird. Back when I bought my laptop, it was a kinda recent model so most of its features didn't work in Ubuntu (I say Ubuntu because it's the distro that worked best. Tried many others and they had even worse support). After a year or so it worked mostly, except some things.

To this day, 4 years later, the display brightness control still doesn't work correctly.

I don't think hiding the problems do any good. The Linux desktop/laptop experience is not good, specially for non-programmers. It's usable, but not good.
