It's not about hardware supporting software or viceversa. It's manufacturers supporting Linux.
The grandparent's got a point. Manufacturers already do it with Windows: you get into a store, you see PCs labeled with "Designed for Windows", you assume all the hardware will work flawlessly with that OS. With Macs well, ditto.
Now, whether or not it's gonna happen, it would be really cool just get into a store, and see a bunch of PCs with a Tux sticker. Then you'll know all of it will work with Linux. Man, that would boost its consumer adoption!
