I just bought a Lenovo laptop and wiped Windows off it / installed Linux for the first time.

As largely a newcomer to Linux, it was very smooth. Had some issues getting the wifi to work, but once that got resolved, everything has been super smooth. I must admit there is a bit of a learning curve, i didn’t fully appreciate the differences between the various distributions.

Shame that an indie company who is actively selling linux machines, can’t have them working off the bat. That’s unacceptable
