Nvidia graphics driver perhaps? Linux with proprietary drivers tends to suck (and Nvidia has been especially unfriendly to FOSS drivers). Intel and AMD support open GPU drivers, which tend to be be better. This might be why you're hearing about experiences that don't match yours.
Also, people can have legitimately different priorities. Some folks might want freedom from vendors badly enough to buy inferior but supported hardware, and/or get their hands dirty dealing with problems. At least there's a choice.
- hughrr 5y agoI made the AMD choice and bought a T495 which is Ryzen + Radeon powered and supported by Ubuntu. The GPU drivers shit a brick every 10 minutes. I now own a Macbook Air.

- hughrr 5y agoWell basically I went here and it said it was supported https://ubuntu.com/certified/201905-27049 https://ubuntu.com/certified/201905-27049 Which it was. Then it broke.
