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.

Debian stable will not work well on very new hardware. Other than that it is solid
Seems to work just fine on my 2022 Gigabyte brand mobo with a 12-core AM5 socket Ryzen and Nvidia 3070ti GPU. Maybe it has trouble on things like laptops, which often have weird shit put in by their manufacturers? Or are you defining "very new" as "just released this month"?
When I got my 30XX GPU around when they released, the drivers for it were buggy (on Windows too but especially Ubuntu). Since about 6 months after the cards came out, it’s been fine.
I just built a amd 7600 system in January 2024 and had no issues. Not sure that counts as very new but it was for me!
