Actually, I think if anything, Linux is more compatible with hardware than Windows, because not much stuff is made for Linux they are all made for others.

Software must be fit for the purpose it is tailored for...Windows doesn't manage that. You would not believe how many times I have trashed/god annoyed (to put it mildly)/exploded at Windows cause I HAVE to use it cause of the stupid school and rotten compatibility cause all the companies are too stupid to know what a decent OS is. I actually think it was an improvement when just about 5 minutes ago I broked the registry a little so it started without Windows Explorer. All I had was the command prompt. It was still horrible, (cause DOS sucks (and I know, Windows isn't a GUI on top of DOS, it's a slightly (and only slightly) different renamed version of DOS with a GUI dumped on it)) and I nearly exploded at that too. Also it's bloated, let me demonstrate:

Example Normal Code:
#include "iostream"
using namespace std;

code, code more code which I won't clog up the forums with

int main()
{
for (int i = 0l i < 100; i++)
cout << std::pow(2, random(0, 100)) << " ";<br/> cin.get();
return 0;
}

Example Windows Code:

#include "iostream"
#include "bitset" //Include it for teh lulz
#include "LOLOL"
#include "windows.h" //cause we are coding for windows even though we don't need it right now
#include "bloat.h" //may as well
//also, turn the optimizer off cause that might debloat it
using namespace std;

LOTS of code (mostly useless)

int main()
{
while (1 * 1 - 0 * 10000) //for teh lulz
{
cout << "FOR TEH LULZ";<br/> cout << std::pow(2, ((100 * (200 / 2) / 100);<br/> }
cin.get();
int *p;
while (1)
p = new int[500]; //YAY YAY, lets crash they're computer :D
return 12124 * 289631/ 48224 ^ 48; //Just to annoy everyone and stuff up the OS
}

(That's just a joke btw ;))
