Can someone suggest a laptop with pretty much all functionality supported (webcam, etc) that runs well with FreeBSD? Doesn't need to be latest 2025 model, but shouldn't be ancient

@mischievoustomato it's not that bad, it's just the latest greatest wifi probably won't work and maybe the latest GPU could have problems but these days the GPU support is basically imported from Linux so it's not a big deal
