Microsoft Adds an OpenSSH Client to Windows 10

linux hardware support is pretty good these days and will work on most machines that don't have particularly esoteric hardware configurations.

But if you want to save yourself potential trouble, it's a good idea to research beforehand to make sure there's no obvious compatibility issues.

Also, these days various vendors sell machines with linux pre-installed so that's an option.

Best general advice I can give is to stay far, far away from anything with switchable graphics, and if possible anything that requires proprietary drivers.

I have one of those machines. It's from Dell. Hooking up an external monitor doesn't just work. The scaling across the Ubuntu UI is all messed up.
