My strategy when picking hardware to run Linux on with 100% success so far:

1. Wait about 6 months before purchasing newly released hardware (new generation of GPU, network adapter...) to let drivers trickle down from the manufacturer to the kernel and then to the distribution.

2. If it has an Nvidia logo on it, leave it on the shelf.

Exactly - I have had great success with this strategy for many years now. Sometimes I take chances with #1 by running rolling release distros like Arch or Tumbleweed.

Alternatively, simply buy preinstalled Linux. Worked for me.
