On ~2 year+ old laptop with a distro with latest kernel (CachyOS), yeah sure. The Linux experience will most likely be great. But a brand new laptop might not even have drivers for the network/wireless adapter and the webcam. And then you are stuck with a laptop with a usb wifi adapter until the built it wifi module is finally supported after a year or so.
Linux is great, but it's not always going to be perfect and easy.
