But at least your laptop can run Linux. You get to decide as the user whether the problems that come with it are worth it.
And while some machines have problems like that, there are plenty of manufacturers who will sell you Linux devices with better support.

Devices designed for Linux work flawlessly, just like it happens with Mac and Windows.
