Well, there are two answers to the questions on support Linux.
One is full support of hardware by drivers and hardware. Often many small things are missing, like mice off indicator on x220, or incorrect support for Fn-based shortcuts.
But there is a more important topic. It's support by main part of archi8, without propietary blobs. That's all about coreboot, and having all drivers been upsteamed, preferably without non-free blobs for firmware.
Hi !
I've had good experiences with HP EliteBook.
I'm not sure what you mean by Linux support.
Most laptop today will be supported in Linux, some tweak maybe necessary
but they are quite easy.
In my case it was the screen that was "turning around" by itself caused
by the motion sensor in the laptop that was reporting wrongfully. Once
disabled, my screen stay in the exact direction it is supposed too.
Like all computer hardware, if you want something with good support then
you have to go away from the latest available. Business who require
computer for their core process, like engineering firm will often get
computer that are one year old (has been in production for a year) so
they already know the bugs out there and the support has had time to get
good.
