Is there a program that I can run on my laptop to tell me what Linux distro supports the hardware out of the box? Also whether the hardware is supported at all?

Managing drivers for nvidia is a constant headache for the nvidia linux community. Pop os devs manage them for you (with a QA team) with pop os so your system never breaks from a bad nvidia update

Downvotes probably from snarky “arch btw” users that like to micromanage their system

Wtf. This is actually snarky for absolutely no reason. It could be anyone and you just pick out of the blue arch. And no, I don’t use Arch directly, but that has nothing to do with it (I would comment this if you mentioned any other distro too).
