Granted, the drivers are the main downside for Linux, but the generic ones often do the trick. That, and some nice software companies have Linux drivers for hardware. Of course, this is the problem when your OS doesn't have the large market share.
That said, I have a new laptop that installed Linux perfectly with everything working, so I doubt the problem occurs as much these days. Generic drivers FTW
