I've been using linux as my primary operating system for a long time now. The last two laptops I installed linux on, I've had have had multiple problems, even using Pop OS. Dell inspiron bought from costco was awful, had to switch it back to windows. The graphics card never worked, the wifi was flaky. I got a thinkpad e495. Lots of issues, the whole computer freezes when you open chrome, reinstalled everything several times, tried the latest kernel, it won't come back from sleep sometimes and I lose all the things I had open.
If system76 can offer solid experience in terms of hardware support on modern specs, I'm happy to pay a premium to get the best experience. I guess it would be also useful if there was some site that ranked new laptops by linux compatibility, I don't want to pay a premium either if it takes 10 minutes to install linux from a USB stick, and people could confirm a machine works well.
