Yep, from a third party site. Maybe it’s true. Maybe it’s not true.

I don’t have to double check Apple machines. And anything with a Windows sticker works with Windows.

Some Linux distro should explicitly support some line of laptops. Literally “buy these models because we will 100% support them”.

Like PopOS from System 76?

At those prices in Australia, it’s not a great option. None of those Linux vendors are.

Dell or Lenovo has international presence and if something goes wrong with the hardware, support exists.

Actually the previous poster talked about sites for laptops supporting hackintoshes. I'd be very surprised if you find that information on any "official" website.
