I’m a big fan of Linux. I love its philosophy. I love the ecosystem around it and all the distros built of top of it. I first dealt with it when I ...

I've not had a problem with Debian or Ubuntu on a collection of Dells.
Arch works flawlessly on my old Thinkpad (including function keys and such) and my desktop, though the desktop has been through many different combinations of parts.
I can't remember the last time I had a hardware issue, unless it was needing to change out the WiFi card in something a few years ago.
Dell is one of the best support of Ubuntu. At least you can have all drivers installed without any issue after rebooting.
I have a Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop and I installed PopOs. I use PopOs because it is a more refined version of ubuntu and it also supports Nvidia graphics with Hybrid Switching option out of the box. I faced Nvidia issues on every distro except PopOs.
I haven’t had compatibility issues with Linux on my workstations since years, maybe even a decade. Last time I had issues was when the support for wireless NICs was lacking (remember ndiswrapper?) and once or twice with nvidia drivers. But overall my experience with Ubuntu on PC has been okay.
The story is different on laptops though. Even to this day I still have lots of problems getting common hardware devices working correctly on laptops. Even after spending hours of tweaking. Not to mention Linux power management for laptops is still not good, although it’s getting better. I think if you’re planning to run Linux on laptops these days without having to spend time on tweaking is by getting yourself Thinkpads or Dell XPS and slap ubuntu on it. I wouldn’t bother installing Linux on any other laptops unless I really want to tinker with it.
I always have problems with drivers using linux. For example. Ubuntu always has issued with bluetooth audio. Manjaro, intel graphics issues. Hours and hours of debugging gave zero results always ending in distro hopping. I finally bought a thinkpad and after more distro hopping i installed Fedora. 0 issues whatsoever. Everything worked out of the box. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with driver issues.
i also have problem with my HP-15R036TU laptop. bluetooth not working and also issue at shutdown time it freeze. but yet not any perfect distro for my laptop.
