I use a Toshiba portege x20w and have very little issues as well for basic drivers, but any more specific hardware (windows hello, convertible laptop features, etc) tend not to work out of the box. Still much less of a hassle to setup than some laptop brands but definitely not Linux certified.

I think this is the thing that confuses people. I don't expect things like Windows Hello (facial recognition system for login) or convertible laptop features to ever work on Linux. I'm pretty careful not to spend extra money on a machine with those kinds of features. It seems like common sense to me, but that's really just because I have a pretty good idea of what Linux supports and what it doesn't.
