Lots of laptop backlight issues, sound issues, video tearing issues etc. Some of these are solvable, but you still have to -dig- for the solutions. So I think forums still serve a purpose and are necessary, but I much prefer sites with less noise like askubuntu, stackoverflow or superuser
However, you can certainly have problems with hardware on windows as well, and these days I don't think modern linux distros are any worse in this respect than windows. In fact, linux is probably better at supporting old legacy hardware - I bet there is plenty of hardware from the windows xp era that isn't getting new 8.1 drivers released.
