For a given device, sometimes one linux distro perfectly supports a hardware component. Then if I switch distros, the same component no longer functions at all, or is very buggy.

How do I find out what the difference is?

    For Red Hat in particular you can find this information in the release notes, but it will generally not compare to baseline. Instead it notes deprecated support for hardware and support for new hardware. Each distro does things its own way.
