Well, there are two answers to the questions on support Linux.

One is full support of hardware by drivers and hardware. Often many small
things are missing, like mice off indicator on x220, or incorrect support
for Fn-based shortcuts.

But there is a more important topic. It's support by main part of archi8,
without propietary blobs. That's all about coreboot, and having all drivers
been upsteamed, preferably without non-free blobs for firmware.
