My current laptop is 6 years old, doesn't close properly, and the manufacturer has left the laptop space. I don't know if I'll be back in some-controversy for several years and don't know if I'll ever be able to order a proper linux laptop from them to amerikkka.

The only thing holding me back is the internationalization. I know they're a big company capable of internationalization, but is there a chance it's not really polished/complete on laptops they're currently only selling in some-controversy? Will I be a few menus deep suddenly totally illiterate to what's on my screen?

I'm a touch typer and not worried about the labels on the physical keys and buttons, just the software.

Thanks

Not sure what linux they’re using but you can always just install a different one if the one it comes with doesn’t have good English. Worst-case, the bios is in Chinese but for the sake of just installing a new OS I would think the a camera translate app would be enough to get you through it.
