I've had good luck with System76 & PopOS, they put in the extra effort to make sure Linux just works on the hardware they sell and will respond to any tech support issues. Recently switched back to running Debian desktop on a older system and have ran into some intermittent sound issues that are frustrating, so I can relate but haven't had that kind of issue with any of the System76 laptops I've used.
