Yeah for the most part it's a "Linux on laptops works if you <list of steps to configure things>...". At least that has been my experience. Although I have not run Linux on a laptop in years so maybe it's time to revisit that.

There isn't much configuration to do if you have an X1 carbon installed with EFISTUB booting if you have the full KDE suite installed. KDE makes your interaction with any peripherals utterly seamless. If you don't want to tweak your Linux machine much, you need to go all-in on KDE.

It's highly dependent on the specific hardware. On some everything works out of the box, others you're stuck with very little working (think Apple M1). Just like any OS you always need to ensure hardware compatibility before purchase.
