The hardware support is pretty good nowadays, and almost everything works out of the box. There's a few caveats: * Sound works fine in general, but might be a bit buggy with Bluetooth. If you encounter any issues, installing Pipewire reportedly solves most of them. * External monitors works fine, as long as you don't mix HiDPI and LoDPI at the same time. In the future, Wayland should fix this. * HiDPI mostly works, but still requires some config tweaks for a handful of apps. * Suspend/resume still sucks, mainly due to buggy nVidia/AMD graphics drivers. Only the Intel GPU drivers suspend reliably in my experience. * WiFi works flawlessly, especially if you're using the Intel WiFi hardware, which is very common on laptops. * Printing works fine except with Windows-only printers, but they are pretty rare. * Distros don't really matter that much, but you'd might need to update your kernel if you use an LTS distro with newish hardware. The Ubuntu based distros, e.g. Mint/Ubuntu/Pop!_OS are good options and have the largest user base, so it's easiest to find solutions if you encounter any issue. * If you just want to test hardware compatibility, I recommend trying Ubuntu 21.10 on a USB stick. * You'd might want to look at /r/linuxhardware [1] for specific hardware recommendations for your needs.
