Got Linux on my laptop, literally just waiting a year to put it on my desktop (Linux does NOT like brand new hardware)

Yeah, unless they're trying to use a laptop with some weird piece of hardware it should work.

Even the newest generation of graphics cards worked fine within a week or two.

My hardware's new enough that my WiFi card doesn't work on Windows 10 (and won't, only Win11), but it works on recent-ish Linux kernels. Not contradicting you, but it was interesting to see.

That might be true for distros like mint, but fedora is usually fine with brand new hardware.
