Many are rollback to Windows 10, but Linux is increasing as well.

Ehh, I've had a few problems with it, from the installation wizard crashing, to my wifi drivers disabling on system resume, to it completely freezing when I switch language input, to sometimes crashing when I load a web page. I'd try a different distro than risk the instability.

E: And before someone chimes in saying it's my laptop, I will say I had none of these problems using Windows, other than it was very slow.

    I think sometimes there are hits and misses when installing a distro. Could not get Mint to boot after installing it so I ended up installing Debian - where Mint should be easier to get going, Debian installed perfectly fine for me.

    It's your laptop.

    Hah, but no seriously. It's just always kind of a shot in the dark which distro is the best for your computer. Mint has been best for my laptop, but really did not get it even installing on the desktop. Manjaro or Tumbleweed worked on it.
