Updating to newer kernels than 5.8 (first ubuntu 20.04 hwe) ruins my almost 5 year old laptop's ability to connect a monitor through USB-C. 4 years of using Linux on it it couldn't detect that my laptop has bluetooth after restart, only from cold boot (was fixed with ubuntu 20.04's first HWE).
and it's top of the line dell xps 15 2017 (13-inch version of this laptop even comes with ubuntu pre-installed and officially supported).
on desktops you can choose specific parts you know will work with linux. on laptop you're stuck with a laptop either working or not. newer versions of linux can bring you more issues on both tho.
