Nope. GNU/Linux is not a single organized entity. It is a disjoint
collection of volunteer activity that remarkably, due to its Unix
foundation, holds together quite well.
However, the ongoing problem is the reluctance of hardware manufacturers
either to supply GNU/Linux drivers or to provide open specs for volunteer
developers. For this reluctance, GNU/Linux cannot be blamed.
The GNU/Linux user must always be willing to do the preliminary compatibility
research or else he may be unsatisfied.
GNU/Linux never was intended for the unwashed masses and never will be
for the unwashed masses. Success in this area would actually mean the
destruction of GNU/Linux as a superior OS.
