Weird, Linux always worked for me on pretty much any computer I ever threw it on, apart from a issue on an old (pre nvidia-open) Asus ROG laptop where it would kernel panic sometimes when resuming from sleep when using nvdia and video going black after screen going to sleep when using the Trident driver on historical pentium 3 era machines.
Overall for the great majority of laptops linux works perfectly fine out of the box. When in doubt buy Thinkpads, those are warrantied to work well, any if there’s a quirk it will be properly documented together with it’s fix.
Lenovo Legion absolutely self destroyed the first time I installed Linux. Graphic driver crashed all the time, touchapd was dead and the speaker were not working (and some other minor issues). I tried some fix but I was really investing a lot of time into it and, while fun, I had work to be done. I’ll be happy to give it another try soon tho, maybe I’ll dual boot with Windows
