I have a 10 year old laptop that has perfect USB ports. I only use them when travelling to transfer photos from the card reader to the laptop.
My desktop is only 2 years old and I've already busted one of the front case ports just from plugging and unplugging a drive, headphones, and ipod adapter.
If you said I ran linux on it and the USB ports still work without any problems, I'd agree with you. Beyond that I'm sticking with that the USB port may be damaged, even slightly.
