Nearly all the main distros are based on Debian,, which are then re-worked to form another clone or variant and re-worked again to form more same but different clones, the builders of the each clone will choose what they build into their respective distributions [eg.. Debian begat Ubuntu, Ubuntu begat mint and mint has other derivatives of its own]
The reason I suggested MX [ahs] is the ahs stands for advanced hardware support , they include both more and modern drivers than most and is worth a shot even if you only try running it live from a pendrive. if it kills on shut down from the live drive it should do the same if you fully install it.
As always if you install any distribution I recommend as you install you say yes [tick the box] to install non-free/proprietary drivers
