> I live in a remote place. Getting stuff shipped here is very hard and finding "Ubuntu-friendly hardware" is simply not an easy option, at all. I find it odd that Ubuntu is purportedly an answer for those who live in rural or remote areas, yet those are the areas where it can be extremely difficult, or expensive, to get specialized Linux-friendly hardware.

Why even worry. I build a new computer last year completely blind. Everything on it worked fine in Linux. Linux has far better hardware support now than windows does

Well, unfortunately, it didn't work out for me. I didn't think I was purchasing anything that wouldn't work in Linux for me but I was wrong. I don't know about Linux having better hardware support than Windows. I found the opposite to be true.
