I've had great success with Mageia as a distro that Just Works. They're the Mandrake offshoot from 2011, and on every laptop I've tried them on, everything worked out of the box, without configuration. For many of those laptops, I went through a major version upgrade (3->4, 4->5, etc), also without problem. It's basically because of Mageia that my linux hand-editing config know-how has atrophied down to nothing.
