From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

AFAIK it has very limited hardware support.
It is not like 'very limited'. But generally they are focused around modern Intel CPU, and can have issues on new AMD CPU. And it won't work on very old CPUs without proper virtualization features.
https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/ can hint on what Qubes will work better.
Also see the system requirements: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/system-requirements/
Are you referring to Qubes OS? If so, what do you mean exactly with hardware support?
It's using Xen, it has amazing hardware support
