My personal experience was completely the opposite. I had two ordinary Windows laptops that I decided to install Linux on, all hardware worked perfectly. Even on the most niche distros like Void Linux, the touchscreen, pen pressure sensitivity, everything worked. The beauty of having hardware that is supported in mainline Linux kernel.
So it entirely depends on the hardware you choose to buy. Most people don't think about Linux when purchasing hardware, neither did I, and I only got lucky. But now it's at the front of my mind, and I think other people should also keep it in their minds if they don't want to forever be stuck with whatever Microsoft decides to stick on their computers
