I have it too. The battery is shot after 4 years (?) but lasts quite a bit longer in Ubuntu. It's had coil whine as long as I had it, the supplied Toshiba NVMe drive died and I've also replaced the Wi-fi card with a mostly sane Intel 9560.

If you're using a SATA drive with the default UEFI settings, Linux will see the drive. If you use a PCIe drive, it won't until you set it to AHCI mode.

Edit: oh and Windows frequently wouldn't recognise the USB-C port unless you had something plugged into it during boot.

Which is what I've done when installing Linux. Am I losing performance? Power efficiency? Features?

It also makes dual booting trickier if you don't plan it beforehand.

It frustrates me that there's not that many reviews that cover this kind of stuff, so it's hard to avoid silliness like this when making a substantial purchase like a laptop.
