They tend to be more popular amongst the populace in Europe than in the USA
I believe. The chances of his having Linux on his laptop in the USA is
small. But yes, if you can find someone that uses Linux in other continents it
would also work.

Things aren't that good here in Europe either. Lenovo offered for a
brief time pre-installed Linux in ThinkPads, but they dropped it,
because the customers didn't ask for it. If you see Linux in a laptop,
it's a recirculated machine run by a geek, not a corporate tool.

i use netstumbler
also try updating the wifi software for your laptop; i updated the
broadcom software for my Dell laptop and the new interface was as good
as netstumber.
