What hardware does not support Linux? (lemmy.world)

Original question by @ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world

I never really see hardware lacking Linux support mentioned, which got me caught by surprise when a computer with a Broadcom network card couldn’t use the card. What other hardware don’t work with Linux?

I'm not sure this is the right question. Shouldn't it be what hardware is not supported by Linux? Most of the time it's the Linux (kernel) developers who create the drivers for hardware support since companies still seem of the opinion that they only need to support Windows, with some exceptions to the rule?

Am I mistaken in this?
