Never had too much problems running linux on Dell or Lenovo laptops. The fact that no matter where I am in the world I can find parts or support was a strong point to me to go the traditional route.
Now I make do with a Mac M1 and a companion samsung book pro, a machine that I choose because I wanted a very light (in physical weight) intel evo as a companion mobile machine running linux for when I feel that using linux is better than using Mac OS.
I run fedora on it, and other than the fingerprint sensor that doesn't work (at least out of the box, never cared enough to figure out if I could find a workaround).
I find it great that there are all those niche sellers out there, but I don't think going this route is cost-effective for most people.
