It will probably work fine but given the limited information it is very
difficult to say.
It will probably have Intel graphics (a good thing for battery life), and makes
the graphics more likely to just work, but don't let this put you off nvidia
and and GPUs with a bit of effort they can be really good. If your not gaming
Intel is better.
WiFi and Bluetooth are a common problem, although 802.11a/b/g/n all tend work
now. AC can be hit and miss and I have had problem with BT on Linux (especially
on combined cards).
Keyboard hotkeys and trackpad often need a bit of setup. They tend to just work
but maybe not as you expect.
UEFI can cause issues but secure boot is easily switched off.
I imagine that you won't have any issues but there is always a risk. If you
want a better guarantee of Linux compatibility then you could go for a Linux
vendor.

System 76 may be worth a look but they tend to be expensive.
You may pay a premium for Linux laptops but this is what is meant by voting
with your wallet.
