You can try out Bazzite, which is what Valve's SteamOS looks like if it were ever released to the public. It has the widest hardware support on Linux, updates are all atomic meaning they can be rolled back and applied easily, has a community constantly improving on it etc.

Otherwise you can install Linux Mint, there is a new major edition of Linux mint releasing this month (version 22 Wilma) so you should wait for that to release.

Their images are designed to work on most hardware, there's images for nvidia cards, portable handheld gaming devices, framework laptops, ASUS laptops etc. They also have special hardware packages for specific peripherals (like razer keyboards).
