Bazzite or PopOS for Notebooks.
Everything should work out of the box, except maybe printers. But those should work with some help
I loved the vanilla Bazzite experience. A+. That being said, if you want to do pretty much any tinkering, you're gonna have to roll up your sleeves. The atomic experience seems destined to be static. ^_^
Went back to Linux Mint so I could experiment as I liked.
You can still tinker a fair amount, but it's all very containerized. It's a trade-off of stability for inflexiblity. I think most Windows users would prefer the first one however.
If the printer isn't too old it should work fairly easily. I did get a 20 year old printer to work with Bazzite but it was a very fragile setup (so I just bought a new printer).
