Alternatively buy laptops that come with Linux or at least are known to be well supported.

Whenever I buy a new piece of hardware of any sort I end up reading lots of spec sheets, reviews, and articles and comparing choices according to a whole range of desirable features. Making Linux support one of them hardly makes it any more complicated.

If nothing else search for product category + Linux then find a list of recommendations and then google choices that look good looking for unbiased critique focusing especially on people claiming systemic flaws in design that effect all units.

Frankly, the same is still true for Windows. Not all WiFi and BT devices are created equal. Sometimes an update breaks them in subtle ways.

Actually, I had fewer compatibility problems with Linux than I had with Windows, using absolutely non-esoteric hardware, like Thinkpad laptops, Asus motherboards, etc. Hell, sometimes it was easier to set up a printer under Linux than under Windows (which, frankly, is more often the other way around).

But usually Linux, and to a smaller extent, Windows, allows you to cobble your own solution if a solid predefined solution is not available.

MacOS is much more often a "my way or highway" kind of environment. Some enjoy it; I don't.

I would literally pay good money to watch some of you use Linux and try to figure out... you know, what's going on.

And or pay to know the actual truth about when the last time you used an up-to-date distro was.

My NixOS laptop is by far the most, stable consistent, unchanging device in my entire life. Speaking of which, shout-out Google for breaking LDAC on their most recent Pixel 9 updates.
