Anyway, you CAN do everything you can do in Windows in Linux. If you don't have hardware which supports Linux, that's your problem, there are equivalents for everything. Have an ATI video card? There's nVidia instead - and it's better anyway. Not to mention it's not Linux's fault ATI doesn't work to support it. That's like saying you can't do everything you can do in Windows on a Mac because you can't use some certain type of video card. Well, there are others that will work for Mac that are just as good.
There is only ONE thing I've come across that one cannot do as well in Linux as in Windows and cannot be remedied by simply using proper hardware that supports Linux, and that is CAD. AutoDesk's AutoCAD is simply the best CAD program out there and it does not support Linux and does not have a match in Linux. Everything else you've mentioned boils down to weather the hardware suppotrs Linux, and if there were only one choice in hardware, well, why do so many people have different computer configurations?
You wouldn't buy hardware that's made to support Mac only and try to use it with Windows, so don't buy hardware that's made to support Windows only and try to use it with Linux.
