Does your video card and wifi work without non-free crapware?

Yes: install trisquel
No: install Debian, only install required firmwares

If you have noVidya or Intel HD there is a good chance they work without firmwares. You might have to install newer kernel from backports/testing. radeon required firmware files.

If you have atheros wifi, they work without firmwares.
If you have Broadcom, Intel, Ralink you'll need firmware fires.

Debian and Trisquel are ok. It all depends on what you want to use your Computer for OP. If you want things to be simple using Linux just install Ubuntu.

The good thing about Ubuntu and also Linux Mint is it is easy to install software from the package managers in them.

Just a couple of suggestions there, OP.

Install Arch

I've alternated between Fedora and and Ubuntu (without unity) for a while. At this point I'm looking for a journeyman's distro. Definitely not or gentoo level at this point.

Antergos is pretty nice

Linux Mint is a very good distro until you want to update to the newest version then it can break as you are updating it. That used to happen with it. It has been a while since I've used it.

If there is a LTS of Mint it might be worth you trying it out.

How's the touchpad/keyboard on that thing? Thinking about getting a Latitude E7470 myself and I assume they'll be the same or atleast similiar.

TouchPad is comfy, the top buttons and trackpoint align nicely. Keyboard is pretty much what you would expect for a modern laptop, although not the worst I've used by far. If you don't mind some flex in the keyboard I'd recommend it.
