Psht. I wish! This is wrong and will set people up for failure. There is absolutely hardware that will work well with Linux and hardware that will not.

I tend to run into problems with brand new laptops. Microphones don't work, web cams don't work, fingerprint readers don't work.

I have a Dell Dell Pro next to me with a web cam that doesn't work. Arch, btw.

I also have a Lenovo T14 where everything does work.

The point is you have to RESEARCH before you buy. Otherwise, you're gonna get mad a Linux for not supporting your hardware, instead of being mad at yourself for not researching first.

Hardware that's too old is problematic and hardware that's too new can be problematic.

And unsurprisingly my framework laptop works perfectly under Linux

Wait, it isn’t the point to nuke “spy equipment” with a new OS?

No, the point is not to nuke it. One point is to have control over your own hardware and (in principle) be able to make sure the software/OS is not using your devices to spy on you.
