Running MXLinux distro here. It doesn't keep me on the bleeding edge of tech
- but - it's very reliable and stable. Those are two things that are very
important to me. I prefer not to find myself in a situation where applying
updates breaks the entire system or breaks something specific that's
important for either me or a client that I switched over to Linux.

Those are the video details on this rig. I've had zero problems with it
since I installed Linux on it in August of last year.
Some years back when I was running Mint (17.3 KDE edition) I did run into
some issues installing the NVIDIA driver for the card that was in it. It was
years ago and NVIDIA has made some progress with their drivers. I haven't
run into any issues with this distro...
