OK, well what I'm trying to tell you is that unless you have some exotic hardware, Mint has the reputation of working right out of the box. Not great for gaming, so if that's a deal breaker, then that's it.

unless you have some exotic hardware

Or very recent hardware. 22 is based on Ubuntu 24.04, which shipped with version 6.8 of the kernel which is from March 2024. That excludes all of Nvidia's 50 series, AMDs RX 9000 series, AMDs 9000 series CPUs/boards, Intel's Core 200 series/chipsets, Arc B series GPUs.

Sure your 5090 might boot and display a picture, but that thing aint gonna work right.
