Is there a program that I can run on my laptop to tell me what Linux distro supports the hardware out of the box? Also whether the hardware is supported at all?

My laptop is an MSI Sword 15 A11UD. But I'm really looking for a program that analyses and projects problem areas and supported/unsupported hardware

I installed a linux onto an USB stick
installed Hw-probe. Created a little script that saved the result to disk. and opened the browser to the result page.And went to a Store:
- Insert USB Stick
- Press SHIFT on a Windows PC
- Than do a Power off on Windows
- chose reboot to stick
- connect smart-phone with thetering
- run HW-Probe script
I was allowed to do that on every store i visited. Mostly I asked if the local staff would like see a running linux.
That way I choosed my current laptop
Seems like a pretty slick way to drop some malware payloads, may I ask if this was recently?
