I sympathize with this as I had a laptop with Nvidia Optimus and installed Linux on it back before it was really supported, which wasn't fun.
However with Dell XPS Linux version, Lenovo has a couple, and also System76 and things you have now hundreds of laptops guaranteed to work and many more that actually still will. Just research them first if you're not sure. These days there is so much info on laptops that work well.
The first class supported ones like XPS (which I'm on my second) get firmware updates etc. it gets easier and easier every year.
- rbanffy 6y agoOne of the best things of Linux support is that the more mundane the laptop is, the better supported it tends to be. And also cheaper. All I'm doing to have perfect Linux support in all my laptops is to go for the boring models. No RGB keyboard, no bleeding-edge dGPU's, and no dual, or foldable screens.
