Isn't Apple the least slimy in this regard? I've been eyeing Macbooks forever, but as far as I know Linux support has never been great, despite the prevalence of their hardware. System76 sells some good Linux-oriented laptops. Some of Dell's laptops are Ubuntu-certified. I had a good HP Elitebook via work about 6 years ago, but everything I've tried of theirs over the past couple years has been throw-out-the-window bad.
