I think that there should be a list of officially supported laptops and if you bought anything else then it is your problem and you are welcome to write necessary patches.

It is unfair when people install Linux on an incompatible hardware and then complain.

To an extent, there is; Ubuntu holds a list of certified hardware, including laptops: https://ubuntu.com/certified.

Notably, the latest Dell XPS is certified.

That is awesome, I didn't know this existed. I've stuck with xps13 for the last ~3 laptops and that's worked well. I'd like to consider one of those ARM laptops next, maybe I'll find one in here.

So far the first two or three generations of ARM laptops have been just okay. I'm hoping the fact that Apple has jumped all-in on ARM will encourage other vendors to invest more here.

There exist many entries on the ArchWiki. The ArchWiki is (IMO) one of the best sources for linux in general not only archlinux. E.g. this entry for Lenovo[0] has a huge list with Lenovo Laptops and what works/doesn't work. There are also some tweaks you can apply for specific Models.
