If your system is all-AMD, then it’s amazing how well Linux just works. Turn it on, hardware accelerated everything.

If you’ve got NVidia anywhere near it, that’s not so much the case. If Mint is being a bit dodgy, then I would have used to recommend trying it with Pop!, since that has pretty good driver support out of the box. Probably outdated advice, something like Bazzite might make more sense now, but I’ve not used it first hand. Partly because my system is all-AMD and just works, but also because I run Arch btw.
