I can’t answer the main question, but anecdotally I find different distros work differently on different hardware. Like one laptop I have will not install, or if it does install it won’t boot, any Debian based distro, but RPM based is fine. There is some bios bug or quirk that fails with deb, but rpm distros acknowledge and move on. So sometimes distro hopping can help.
Yeah, I was going to leave it for the joke, but changed it.
