Its so called ‘modern’ desktop environment (wich still defaults to the old X window system) feels awful to use imo and while the ‘retro’ ones are better there’s no point in using them on a new laptop. Choose a distro that ships with KDE, GNOME, or a wlroots based desktop environment.

    I’ve also had driver issues with it that didn’t happen with Ubuntu or arch.

    Pretty much every distro has a caveman compatible installer.
