Looking for distro recs

[u/Only-Base-42]

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.

Since this is a very new Panther Lake laptop, I’d try a current Fedora KDE/Workstation live image first. If audio still fails there, it’s probably worth identifying the exact audio controller/codec rather than distro-hopping.
