You can select from three choices: 1) Pick an O/S where your choice of hardware is supported. 2) Pick hardware that is supported by your choice of O/S. 3) 'Port' your O/S of choice to your choice of hardware yourself, or if you lack the skills to do it yourself, pay someone to do it for your. The choice between 1 vs 2 depends on which is 'more important', the hardware, or the software. 3 describes what is necessary if you are not willing to compromise on -either- hardware or software. Being 'unable'/'unwilling' to compromise is expensive. Your choice.
