I recently got an HP Envy 17t. It’s working perfectly for me, on Arch Linux + KDE/Plasma. I configured it for $20 more to have an Inte wireless card. The Intel wireless is working excellent on Linux. Sleep and wake-up works perfectly fine too. Secondary things like screen/LCD backlight control, keyboard backlight control, etc — all worked 100% out of the box with KDE/Plasma on Arch. I’d recommend it.
It’s an excellent machine. The Intel wireless chip in it is “Intel 7265” — it uses the open-source “iwlwifi” driver. The machine I got also had the i7-8550U, an 8th gen Intel chip with has four hyper-threaded cores that has a TDP of a mere 15 W. It also had a 512 GiB PCIe SSD from an obscure brand called “SK Hynix”, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, and an NVIDIA MX150 GPU (with 4 GB of graphics memory) in addition to the integrated Intel UHD graphics that comes with the i7-8550U.
