Ty for clarifying. The one I'm interested in RN is Mint. From what I've heard and the information you've provided I suspect it won't be an issue.

You can always test a distro by putting it on a USB and booting into the live environment. This means you can check if everything works hardware wise without having to commit to installing Linux.

Mint is a solid choice for being a dependable install.

Hardware sometimes makes install / use different amongst everyone.

I.e. I had an old Dell Server Tower from 2007, it would not stay shutdown, so had to add a kernel quirk parameter value to boot options tell the components not to rewake the motherboard on shutdown
