Unless you're using NVIDIA. Didn't work out of the box for me and required a couple hours of fiddling. Mint worked seamlessly.

PopOS (scroll down to the "Pop_OS with Nvidia" link).

It is tailored for Nvidia cards, is Debian(Ubuntu) based, & super friendly for new users.

EDIT: Here's a link to the 24.04 release that provides only the Cosmic desktop environment (no X11, no gnome or kde). This is what I use, but it's in alpha so user beware.

Manjaro with KDE Plasma has been working pretty flawlessly with an nvidia card for me.

Wrangling my Nvidia drivers into Mint also took a couple hours for me but I haven't had problems afterward

That's weird. It worked for me just fine. I have GTX 1060 3GB.
