I'd argue that the hardware support for Linux (when it comes to server
specific items like network cards, raid cards, etc) is better since you're
able to tweak a lot of the settings or dig into the driver if you're really
ambitious.
Consumer hardware on the other hand... Yeah. I'll concede that one.
