If you're not buying a laptop with Linux preinstalled and supported by the hardware vendor, you're going to have a hard time.
You might get lucky, but it sounds like you've not been lucky.
- tombert 2y agoI’ve never bought one of the dedicated Linux laptops, but I’ve had pretty good luck with AMD stuff. My current laptop, Thinkpad P16s AMD Gen 2, was pretty straightforward to get working with NixOS. No special drivers, and everything, including WiFi and function buttons on the keyboard, worked fine without any kind of special concessions. This was also the case for my last non-Mac, from 2017-2020, I got Ubuntu installed on there without many headaches, and it wasn’t a specific Linux laptop, though again it was AMD.
