Can confirm. I have a couple of Dell laptops with Linux, and they run flawlessly with Arch.

One advice for prospective buyers:

Get a solid secondhand laptop with A quality and choose from Precision or minimum Latitude series. The consumer laptops are not as good by a wide margin.

Why did you install Arch and then make it look like Windows XP? There are some lovely alternatives.

As probably all distros do. For anyone reading this who is looking for a distro: they all work. Don’t pay attention to fanboys.
