I think it's users' responsibility to research best hardware for using Linux. I have a Lenovo with none of these problems, and Ubuntu, Fedora, any distro really, is significantly more productive than Windows on the same machine because the software selection, ease of use, and portability are unmatched. Most complaints about Linux come from a place of not having much experience with it, like trying to shoehorn it into poorly supported hardware, not knowing your way around the filesystem and so on. When you plan, it's simly capable of much more than Mac or Windows, assuming the app tools you use are available for the platform. Simple as that.
