To be fair, it is quite typical for cutting edge hardware not working in Linux for the first few months. Kernel devs have to catch up, and depending on your distro this might take a while. Best is to wait until support matures, or go with last year's option.

(Not that it really makes much difference in Intel-world anyway, the difference these days is not very noticeable - I am typing this on a Thinkpad X1 Gen 5, which was released... in 2017. Can't justify buying a new laptop, each year I have a look and wonder, what the benefit would be.)
