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?

how do I find out about both of these?
compare the versions of the packages. there is a big button on kernel.org that has the latest release version plus a list on the left. if you use modules that aren’t part of this, they have their own versions somewhere depending on module.
