That is true.

But GNU/Linux has always been for those who have the knowledge/
experience to overcome those problems.  IOW, GNU/Linux is not
really appropriate for the "unwashed masses."

The distros try to make it more foolproof, but, largely because
of vendor reticence, they cannot always succeed.

As I indicated in an earlier post, the GNU/Linux user should
always research compatibility issues BEFORE acquiring hardware.
