    There plenty of other things to consider too, though, especially for laptops.

    WiFi chipset, trackpad hardware, webcam, all can lead to a sad time with the wrong manufacturers and driver support

      Yeah, my keyboard just straight up didn’t work when I got my laptop; thankfully the issue was already fixed in a newer kernel so I just had to update (using a USB keyboard, lol).

      Modern devices are pretty generic. You can install Linux on just about anything.

      Web cams tend to be USB devices and trackpads are often SPI. WiFi can be an issue but only with a handful of devices.
