I recently switched to linux mint and have had no serious issues at all. In fact I like it more than windows and it isn't full of crap and spyware

Are the volume and screen brightness as good quality? And does the Bluetooth work? These are issues that I had with Mint.

Mint is usually a year or so behind for kernel updates because it is a LTS (long term support) distribution. It should really only be used on older hardware for people who want stability and won't be using anything newer.

For best hardware support you need newer kernels, so use a more updated distribution like Fedora (Red Hat) or EndeavorOS (Arch)

Thanks for the tip!

That probably depends on your specific hardware. You could always download a VM and try running Mint on that to check.

I personally have had no issues whatsoever with hardware.

That's good to know. I'll try playing around.
