Distros don't differ much on account of hardware compatibility because they use the same kernel,what may differ is the version of the kernel and any of their own minor patches/hacks.
Not true. There are distros which support a wider array of drivers. For example Redhat / Fedora kernels seem to have better support for DRI on most graphics cards while the same doesn't hold true for Debian though Ubuntu goes a step ahead with support for restricted drivers.
