Mainstream hardware is usually well supported. Bleeding-edge
technologies and obsolete hardware may not be. Mainstream commercial
operating systems are probably a slightly better bet for obsolete
hardware, since they are more likely to have encountered it previously
and it's unusual for support to be explicitly removed.
