I bought one of their Evo 14 models with Mint installed for a mate and everything worked straight out of the box.
I'm in the UK so delivery was very good but as expected with customs etc. Comms & service from Slimbook were excellent.
The machine is excellent and works flawlessly.
Configuration on their site is a doddle.
There are a few reviews of their machines around.
(I've used Linux on various machines for twenty years - currently a mini PC, an old MacBook and three HP Streams; I've installed linux for friends & customers.)
To answer your initial question with a personal success story I can recommend a supplier in Spain called Slimbook.

I'll either buy a Framework or Slimbook next. Hope that helps.
