13th Gen Intel chips and Linux

I had bought an HP AiO for my wife with an Intel 13th gen chip. It was OK for awhile but then started locking up…no BSOD, no warning, no information in Reliability report…just machine shut down incorrectly, which was the power button being used to shut it down as that was the only solution. So now it is mine.

Plan A is to nuke Windows from space and start from scratch. Hopefully that will resolve things.

Plan B would be to install Linux on it. Just wondering if the same problems that plague Windows 11 on this chip will plague Linux as well. Any information would be most appreciated.
