Does the HP 250 g7 support linux?

I'm trying to install arch linux on a laptop from hp (Name in question) and periodically the keyboard and touchpad turn off completely. When you reboot, the same cycle begins. I took the laptop for repair, where I was later told that the laptop simply did not have drivers for the touchpad and keyboard (I handed it in for repair with EndeavorOS without anything). Now, with difficulty, because of the iron, I installed arch and I think what to do. It seems strange to me that drivers can be the cause of the breakdown, but I also do not exclude that the laptop simply does not support linux.

Connect a USB keyboard, install your Arch and enjoy life :) Or, God forbid, you want to use desktop Linux on your laptop? Then I dare to dissuade you - this is for the strong in spirit, because, as you can see, with portable devices, Linux drivers are even worse.

Linux on laptops works the way it works - well, that is, if it works at all, then this is already very good :)

Linux is quite normal on laptops, and by the way, HP laptops are some of the best in this regard. The only thing is there are features.
1) for starters, it’s better not arch, but ubuntu
2) all drivers in Linux are exclusively in the kernel, with the exception of part of the graphics. So try fresh kernels!
3) do not spoil the laptop much with drivers
4) and most importantly, look for the features of setting up your laptop in Linux on the forums.
