Could be varoius reasons. Some common ones:

• distros can have different kernel parameters
• unloaded kernel modules
• different kernel parameters
• older kernel/packages
• missing packages

You can narrow down which distros work and which hardware support is missing. Also look at archwiki for that specific piece of hardware. You can find a lot of useful information even if you don't use Arch.
