I have been running Ubuntu on laptops for over a decade. No major issues, at least as of past 8 years. Great hardware compatibility.

Similar. The only thing I find problematic is fingerprint readers, which Linux doesn't yet support very well. Literally EVERYTHING else works fine: power-yes, sleep-yes, sound-yes, video-yes, network-yes, tablet keyboard-yes... (My preference is LinuxMint.)
