That's nowhere near as true as it once was. Most of your big well-supoorted distros run flawlessly on most big brand machines.
Where you'll run into problems is in using more obscure distros that require a lot of tweaking and customization, but something like Ubuntu should run beautifully out of the box and if it does have a problem it will be very well-known and heavily documented with easy to follow step by step instructions on fixing it. Linux just isn't the pain in the ass it used to be. Or at least it doesn't have to be.
