The linux kernel has good support for server hardware like, drive controllers, network cards, etc but bad support for things like touchpad, bluetooth, fingerprint readers, cameras, nfc readers, wifi cards, power controllers.
There are a small handful of laptop devices that have “full driver support” and these are still a 3rd party managing the linux drivers framework, system 76, lenovo. This is usually fixing issues as they arise instead of releasing fixes and patches before the disclosed issues go public. That makes them really hard to support in a secure environment.
If there are majority of devices then give me one machine thats not a framework or system 76 laptop and we can look at the device drivers.
