Unfortunately not, to the best of my knowledge. However, what I've
done in the best is done a search on a particular laptop I'm
interested in buying and the specific Linux distro I want to run and
have found sufficient information to base my decision on. Albeit, if
you're looking to run Debian on a Lenovo laptop, your chances of
finding lots of good, useful info are much greater than if you're
trying to run a less well-known and used distro on an off-brand
laptop. The information you're looking for is out there, it's not just
conveniently in one place and easy to find. Linux might be free in
terms of money, but not so much in terms of time.... :-/
