Yes, but we usually run MacOS on Apple hardware and we get Windows on the PC we buy, with drivers tested by the manufacturer, so we can trust the hw/os combination. Instead I always researched how Linux would run on my computers. No major problems but some little issues that a manufacturer would have fixed before going to the market.

We have to check MacOS and Windows compatibility only if we do strange things, like hackintoshes or installing Windows from scratch on a different generation computer. I must admit that installing desktop Linux is always a strange thing, because very few manufacturers care of testing any distro on their hw. Quite the opposite for server Linux.
