The constant struggle is the lagging support for the best hardware. Unless you want to buy a machine from a dedicated Linux shop (framework, System76, tuxedo), you are taking a risk buying anything remotely new without a lot of research into the hardware and hunting for posts about people who have had success. Those dedicated Linux shops are usually at least a generation behind too. It doesn't help that architectures are evolving rapidly in response to Apple's chips (not a bad thing long term).

Just bought an HP omnibook flip with an Intel 258v. From what I've read I expect most things to work, or work soon with kernel updates. All applications I care about work well. Would be nice to see OpenAI make a desktop app for Linux, or some other open source equivalent.
