Or the wireless chipset that your corporate laptop happens to have. Or Bluetooh. Or it won't suspend properly.

Or a way worse touchpad experience. No swiping geastures. No smooth scrolling. FN-buttons not working. Or any other million issues. I have never been able to install Linux on a laptop and getting things to work within a weekend. And then reverting becuase I need my computer.

Run wayland instead of xorg… Also get better laptops.

The absolute best built laptops on the market right now don't come with Linux support...

If you're thinking of apple… as a former apple owner and current thinkpad owner… the built quality of apple is severely overrated. Please come back with comments that are not just shilling.

Buy a System76

That was kind of my point: we're still at a stage where checking a list of supported laptops and vendors is pretty much mandatory.

This is totally laptop vendors' fault, but that doesn't change the fact of the matter.

PS: it would be fine if there was a few good options in all categories. Right now I see nothing comparable to an Asus Z13 but with first class Linux support for instance.
