If you care about that, and can acheive the same results in Linux, you obviously will dump it.
And if there were "Ubuntu Ready" or "Linux Ready" stickers that manufacturers put on their computers that had linux supporting hardware, I bet you that a lot of problems that the users would immediately disappear. If you go to ubuntuforums.org (or any linux forum) you will see that the most problems the users face are with installing hardware x correctly, or hardware y isn't functioning correclty.
