Hi Nathan, If you buy laptop with the intel graphic and wifi then none of what you mention below is an issue. It all just works no configuration files required.
I have noticed a dramatic improvement in Linux in the last 2 years on these issues, and as I say with Intel stuff it is flawless, well integrated and easy to use. But without the right hardware Linux is hard, hardware that is not supported by the manufacture is a problem in any OS. Fortunately nowadays that does not need to be a problem as there is always a vendor that supports linux for any common item you wish to use. Of course there is always an exception somewhere, but don't be tricked into thinking that what limux was a few years ago is what it is now, you might be surprised.
