Linux still has a lot of trouble with hardware. My Logitech trackpad doesn't have tap-to-click support in Linux, for no apparent reason. This doesn't bother me (in fact, is preferred, since I'd be looking for a way to turn it off), but it's the single greatest complaint you'll find online with the trackpad and Linux. But it's not just shiny newish hardware: my motherboard uses some audio chipset that was immediately recognized and used by Ubuntu, but it has various wacky issues: plug in headphones on the front panel and there's audio (after 10-15 seconds) through them, but when you unplug them, it doesn't switch back to the speakers plugged in the back. I can eventually unmute my speakers by playing around in alsamixer, but I'm not sure how, even though I've done it two or three times. Also, Skype doesn't play well with pulseaudio (again, long-time known issue), so to ensure Skype working, you have to stop pulseaudio and start Skype, but then nothing else that uses audio works until you start pulseaudio again. Lots of issues, still.
