I think you are a bit over thinking it. If the components are new enough they are close to 100% compatible (2009 and up). I have found components which say Linux supported (even in the manual written something simular to "work on Ubuntu 16.04") and had to install near 10-15 packages just so it can work barely. (touch screen)

I see. So, you're telling me compatibility is not a problem with modern hardware. Thank you for your answer.
