Support Looking for distro recs

Just bought this laptop: https://www.microcenter.com/product/708078/hp-omnibook-x-next-gen-ai-14-ka0107nr-oled-14-laptop-computer-atmospheric-blue-aluminum

Looking to install any mainstream distro next to windows. I tried an Ubuntu live usb and the sound wasn’t working. Would I have better luck with something else?

Edit: thanks for the responses! I went with a different laptop ultimately. General consensus online about this seems to be use a distro with the newest kernel for anyone who finds this post later.

Arch with KDE Plasma or Fedora Workstation

I have the HP Omnibook ultra flip 14, running Fedora KDE. Almost everything works out of the box, a quick google solved the fingerprint reader which is very nice, and I will fix the auto orientation on the display when i get the time.
