The only issue I had with power management was a 5g modem driver that didn't want to suspend - once that's blacklisted the machine works as intended - with the fingerprint reader, webcams, and sleeping. Don't spread FUD, please.

It’s hardly FUD. It’s the reason OP listed for moving back to windows. Currently on my laptop, Linux works but there is no support for the webcam, bluetooth, suspend, finger print scanning, and thunderbolt features beyond usb 3.

It’s improving and I’m sure in a few years it’ll be working well but these are issues that have been reoccurring for me. I’ve never had a Linux laptop where the fingerprint scanner worked.

I am on a thinkpad using an external thunderbolt monitor with several peripherals linked to it. No sweat at all. Never had to install drivers for anything, webcam, wifi, bluetooth etc all works. Linux mint has been rock solid. I've gone through three major OS updates without anything breaking.

Well, they also said a framework machine, which has excellent Linux compatibility, especially for the commonly difficult hardware you list.
