FTR (For The Record): Most, but not every Windows 10 PC or Laptop will run Linux. Especially in consumer oriented models you will often see weird parts that are not supported by Linux. Certain WiFi cards, touchpads and many more components can be problematic. With business level machines you are often more lucky. These machines often are certified with certain Linux distros (Ubuntu, Red Hat and more).

So always try, but be prepared it might not always JustWorkâ„¢

@jwildeboer is this based on lived experience or a general impression?
@stefan_hessbrueggen Lived experience at install parties and with devices from friends and family. Some Realtek network cards are typical candidate for frustration. Touchpads also. Sometimes they kinda work but are jittery, don't work with multifinger etc.
@jwildeboer people should just live in emacs and use their keyboards as $(DEITY) intended. :)
