I would like to install Linux onto the AX15 Intel 12th Alder Lake N95 laptop, and make it dual boot with the existing Windows 11. Any advice on doing so? like potential missing linux drivers for wireless network adaptor, bluetooth, camera, touchpad, and display, etc. Thanks

I would suggest you start out with a Live USB version of whichever Linux you prefer. There are many options, including Fedora, Ubuntu, and others based off of them. Pop!_OS and Linux Mint are two variations of Ubuntu which I find very user friendly.
Most modern distros offer a live download which you can write to a USB drive and boot the computer off of it. This will let you experience Linux and find any possible issues, without overwriting your laptop's drive.
https://support.system76.com/articles/live-disk/ - this website has information on how to do this using Pop!_OS
Once you find a version you like, the GUI for installing it typically offers an option to install alongside Windows, shrinking your Windows drive partition to make room for it. It's very smart and unlikely to corrupt anything from Windows.
