But I'd say that's rather on the manufacturers, and not on Linux. They usually provide crappy drivers only for whatever version of windows they ship and call it a day. See all the junk that would stop working between major windows updates.
Also, how does that laptop work? Don't the screens just show up as two displays, or do they do something special?

YMMV as they say... Speaking of displays specifically, we just got some brand spanking new 5k screens at work. My full intel hp enterprise laptop can't use them at 5K under windows [0], but Linux supports them perfectly, even two at a time in addition to the integrated panel. Even 4k@60 had be borked on Windows on this PC for something like 2 years after I bought it. Worked OK since day one on Linux.

[0] I actually did get it to work by installing the latest driver from the Intel website. But windows helpfully "updated" it back to the borked version after a reboot.
Having been using a Framework 13 running Fedora for ~2 weeks now... it's going great! I've plugged in a variety of external devices (monitors, a webcam) and they've all just worked.
Linux support for laptops is fine. Getting an OS to work well on hardware requires a whole team of people called system integrators. Just slapping Linux on a Windows laptop and expecting it to work is naive.
If you want a better Linux experience, you have to buy a Linux laptop, i.e. one that was designed (especially in firmware and chip selection) to run Linux, with support. You know, like you do for Windows.
