If you're using at least a 32-bit processor, it's highly likely that the processor core is already supported by the Linux kernel (ARM, x86, PowerPC and, more rarely, MIPS). A total of 31 hardware architectures are currently supported by the standard Linux kernel.

On the other hand, it may happen, albeit rarely, that certain peripherals are not taken into account and that one or more drivers are required.
