It's not because Linux is such a good, but because most of the HW is just cheap crap and Linux is ok with that status. See eg. http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=125783114503531&w=2 In the end you must buy HW for OS you want to use. If it's not a choice like for already existing HW then you need to choose OS which will be running of course. Anyway the golden rule "Use what's appropriate for you and your use" is still valid. It can be anything from any BSD, over Linux, Solaris/OpenSolaris to Windows or MacOS.
BTW what notebook do you have?
