I have been using Arch Linux with a Cinnamon Desktop utilizing Linux Mint themes and icons. And I use a bash script I developed to automate the installation called Strings. In this script I choose audio devices drivers and such that work with my computer system. So as far as my distribution it is Arch Linux. I just control what goes on top of it. So I was watching a YouTube video where the host mentioned a Linux Distro he was using utilized an audio driver that was incompatible with his audio device. If I changed out my computer motherboard or changed the entire computer, and the audio device did not function properly, I would look at the associated script in Strings to see which driver I was using. Then in the command prompt using bash I would get pacman to remove it. I would try other audio drivers using pacman until I found one that worked. I would then edit the associated script in Strings to install this driver in the future. Would I complain about my distro? No I would not, but instead just fix it.
If you do not want to get your hands dirty with Linux then just use Linux Mint Debian Edition. Chances are you will not have such an issue. But really who can use Linux and not get their hands dirty occasionally. Linux is free so free thinking is involved too.
