Normally, you buy your hardware based on what your needs are. If you 
planned to run Linux all along, you look for the hardware that has the 
best support.

For a desktop that's more important than for a server, because you have 
more specific requirements (video drivers, wireless, suspend/hibernate, 
...).

I bought my laptop to specifically have Intel video that was 
supported, had a working suspend/resume, 3G support, wireless, and 
little power usage.

But for a server the video and USB3 are hardly important, so I guess 
whether it is Linux or Windows is not that big of a deal to you.
