Your best bet is to get a brand that is well known to run Linux if you want it bad enough to get a new laptop. Dell business line, lenovo thinkpad, framework, system76 are all good platforms. If it's not working on your old laptop it's probably only one or two drivers, and you should probably try running with debian, endeavour, ubuntu and a few flavors that might have the driver you need working.
