I have a machine in am working on now. It uses Nvidia which a lot of people have used no problem, especially if the machines are fairly new and well supported. My fifteen year old Toshiba works on older Linux Mint 20.3 but not on Mint 21.3, largely because Mint removed the Driver Manager option of older, now unsported Nvidia drivers. I could go on, but for low end users like me, the practical solution when buying a machine is to use either Intel integrated graphic or AMD Ryzen line, or so it seems.
That Pangolin works like a dream. It doesn't come with Windows. No Windows at all. I suppose one could load Window, but I am not interested at all in that. The choices are Pops_OS! or Ubuntu which I have not used in years. Pops used the Gnome Desktop environment which drives me CRAZY in capital letters. I install Linux Mint which works in the Cinnamon Desktop ... sort of like Windows only better. The Software Store is one of the best around. It very will organized so that one may find things with ease.
Good to know!
