What budget gaming laptops work well with Linux? - eviltoast

I’ve seen stuff about Nvidia cards not working well with Linux, is that true?

If one was in the market for a new laptop anyway, would you recommend not getting nvidia and going with AMD?

I’m currently intrigued by the Lenovo LOQ line (full size numpad). Not buying anytime soon, just scoping out good brands and ideas.

*Primary role is laptop productivity, secondary role is maybe patient gaming, so I’m ok with budget gaming. Going Linux is not guaranteed, but maybe in the future because windows keeps getting more nuts. So I’m looking for info to make sure Linux is possible.

*I want this to last a long time, 10 years should be easy.

    Thanks but I’m looking for a laptop for laptop functionality. Productivity is primary role, gaming secondary, that’s why I’m ok with budget gaming.

      There is also a company that makes shell laptops designed to plug into phones with USB c that you could use that I think go for around 100, plug that into a steam deck and it’s a fully fledged laptop
