Just got a new gigabyte. The bootloader is shit combined with shitvidia to make a terrible combination to avoid. I expect most companies are doing the same bullshit with TPM/Secure boot. Everything proprietary is criminal theft.

Look up any model you are considering on the following websites and if it's listed it should tell you everything you need to know about Linux support. I'd say you'd be safe with most laptops these days though.
I've been running a Zephyrus G14 for the past 8 months and it's been great. I wrote up the install instructions but have no place to publish them.
It's not spectacular, but it has an 6800U (or H, I don't even know), good integrated graphics, a dedicated Radeon 6800S, and can be configured with 64GB RAM and a 1600p display.
The 15" variant probably has a 4K display if that's what you want. I would personally wait for the Framework 16 at this point though.
