I've happily used Asus for the past 5 years. Great linux support and no serious hardware issues. The only negative is that one of the arrow buttons came of my ExpertBook B5 after 1 year but it was easily glued back. Otherwise linux works like a dream and the price was good as well.

Anecdotal, I've had an Asus ROG laptop for close to 10 years now and it's still mint except for the battery. Aluminium frame and solid with Linux (even bluetooth works on Ubuntu, imagine that). I'd replace the battery and keep using it, but I'm not sure if it's worth the investment at this point given that it's DDR3. But when I go out to buy a new one, it'll probably be a TUF or something.

Asus may have deplorable predatory customer service, but if I buy the thing from a local reseller they have to deal with that instead of me if something goes wrong, so it doesn't really affect me haha.
