Mint has been glazed since the beginning of time. Not a single laptop or computer I have ever owned has worked out of the box with it. As opposed to alternatives like Ubuntu or Fedora. I must be the single most unlucky person in the history of Linux.
Is there any company out there that sells PCs with Linux pre-installed? I make a ton of money selling custom built PCs that have Linux pre-installed and tested.
Most distros works out of the box with that weirdly enough, only one I’ve had issues with was debian and the pen, but that worked itself out straight away after updating it

I’ve had the exact same experience.
I’ve had the opposite experience. Mint has just worked on literally every piece of hardware I’ve ever owned.
Is it always a new laptop/computer?
I’d be suspicious of Mint on anything brand new (and hence only recently fixed in a lot of packages).

Several. System76 (the cosmic dev) is a major one, literally making the distro just for their laptops.
They’re mostly white boxes though. I don’t any and manufacture their own hardware (except Framework possibly???)
You can find Linux models from dell lenovo and I think even hp but you gotta search for them
There are also some specialty companies that make Linux desktops and laptops but you also gotta really seek them out
I used it on an HP elite X2 and everything worked, touchscreen and it’s specific screen cover/keyboard
It’s weird tho because I didn’t expect that at all.
