This is a nice / modern hardware laptop, which you can have confidence supports any recent linux distro well, because all hardware drivers are "upstreamed". Further, there are as few closed-source firmware blobs as possible. Various people care about that for various theoretical reasons, but one good one is that any firmware that could be infected with a virus could also be patched.
It is annoying that the marketing is not clear on this fact. This is a nice, if pricey, laptop which supports any modern linux distro well. And when you buy it, you avoid your purchase supporting Apple or Microsoft. (I've purchased a couple Apple laptops over the years, begrudgingly, just to run linux on them. I'm excited to have an alternative.)
