I've been using Linux on laptops almost exclusively for years. I made two exceptions:
1) one job required mac laptops. The user experience was, for my tastes, subpar, and the performance was the same or worse.
2) I keep a windows install around for the rare case of playing a game.
It really isn't that hard to look up hardware compatibility online, and of the three OSs, windows is easily the worst. Booting occasionally fails, sometimes reboot will shut down, or the shut down option will reboot instead.
I've had less problems running Linux (currently fedora) than anything else in the last, I dunno, 8 years?

Also, good for you that Linux works. That’s not anywhere close to universal.
