Does Linux have a hard time on laptops?

So basically I am planning to buy a gaming laptop and wanted to use Linux on it since Linux is optimized and more efficient I thought why not give it a go and also I want to learn since I'm very interested in how to use Linux.
I heard from some people that trying to run Linux on a laptop is much harder and since I don't want to dual boot I wanted to know if getting rid of windows 11 and installing Linux into my new gaming laptop is a good idea.
This the laptop I'm thinking of buying: https://amzn.in/d/gBXen9h
