Please suggest a Distro which also has a large hardware compatibility.
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.
Incorrect. Support may be out of the box in case of RH / Fedora. But a simple download and recompile will provide support for ANY distro including home brew. I really is very simple.
