What is the best Linux for hardware compatability?
Don't Ubuntu and Mint configure around your hardware on installation to make sure they just werk on a fresh installation?

Not really. They semi-detect it, but they don't install the proprietary drivers out of the box. You need to go to the "Additional Drivers" application and enable them there.
Manjaro has an option to install it "non-free" which detects your hardware and uses the best drivers immediately , even on the live CD.

Ubuntu
I have yet to have any issues.
You've got a pretty comfortable 2 decade window for hardware support nowadays. As long as you don't have a laptop that was released yesterday or a beige box from the early 90's, someone either baked in support or written a workaround for your hardware.
(Unless you need a wireless PCI/E card, then pic related)
Op here, sorry guys forgot to add performance. This is because I've been using Ubuntu recently, whicheck is very compatible. However, it's cluttered up a bit, and boot time is brutal..

Just making sure, did you delete your swap partition but not comment it out in the fstab?
