If you really care about user experience, I recommend seeking out products made by companies that are vertically integrated, like Apple, because they have the power to curate the components of their products for maximum compatibility and support.
The closest examples so far with Linux are System76 and Purism:
This is also what makes the Surface tablets and Surface Book so great. There's a top to bottom alignment of interest in creating the best user experience and making sure the product works.
The closest thing to computing hell is when a commodity operating system is slapped onto the cheapest commodity hardware by someone who isn't concerned at all about using it, but has a list a mile long of systems to configure. There are plenty of enterprise IT-managed work laptops with no display or chipset drivers that can't hibernate, but at least they have McAfee virus scanner installed and the corporate group policy enabled.
