I don't mean to be rude, but if hardware support is your only criteria,
why not just run Windows?  If you don't care that its buggy or
ineffective, and you don't want to check that it is supported before you
buy it, you just want it to support everything, it would seem to me that
Microsoft's OS is the obvious choice....
