I always find it strange reading (negative) articles about Linux's hardware support. I've used it for almost 15 years now, and in my experience the hardware support is unparalleled. Nearly everything worked out of the box, even when it was brand new. I loved never having to scour the web for drivers on the manufacturer support websites. I use Ubuntu for minimal effort installations, and so I can focus on my work. I have tried other OS's like macOS and Windows but the development experience is painful (coming from feeling right at home with the GNU coreutils and full control of my OS with all of the relevant source and debugging tools).
