A) Stock usually has the highest chance of being supported right?

B+C) Besides Solus having had the smoothest gaming experience, i always keep to either endeavouros or mint otherwise

D) i never used wayland before

E) Cinnamon is my go to, easily my favourite

F) i rarely use flatpaks actually unless there is no easier way to get a program, which very rarely happens

What is supported is ... what is supported. Wherein the manufacturers assert that their hardware supports Linux, OEMs assert that it supports Linux, Linux developers assert that it is supported, or user reports assert that it is supported. The old school way is to plug the exact model of hardware and the word "linux" into your favorite search engine but there are actual hardware compatibility lists too.

For something to be "stock" has no meaning whatsoever and one doesn't have to guess if something is supported one can usually find out.
