I did so many Ubuntu installations on Fujitsu Lifebook A and E series: They all work perfect.

In a few cases you need to help a little with silly ELAN touch pads or wrong track keyboard disabling (see recent posts).
I was always (!) lucky with special keys for sound, brightness etc. I personally did never experience issues, provided a quite recent version of Ubuntu was installed.

Fedora and Suse should do it as well although Fedora, Debian and Trisquel, Arch for example are more restricted about weird proprietary drivers.
We hate them, we need them, we use them - proprietary stuff.

In general I'd say based on plenty of experience:

Fujitsu Lifebook and Ubuntu are a perfect combination.
I use it every day.

And if your Fujitsu Laptop gets old and grumpy - use LUbuntu or XUbuntu. They will work faster than recent models with the burdon of M$Redmond10 or 11 (the personal data traitors)
