Honestly Bazzite does great with pretty much everything I've had it do. Some things were difficult in the beginning (I've been on it since nearly the beginnimg), but these days everything just works. It's really matured. I'd also like to make an honorable mention for VanillaOS which would be my second pick for general stuff and my number one for development and sysadmin.
Distro choice really shouldn't matter but unfortunately not all systems are created equal. There's tradeoffs to everything. What you get by having the latest features you sacrifice in compatibility with older hardware. The stability benefits you get from waiting update packages may cause you to miss out on needed performances improvements or bug fixes. Tradeoffs to everything. Immutable distros handle most of those problems fairly elegantly, but lose out somewhat when it comes to ease of package installation.
I hope in the future you get to have a perfect experience friend.
