usually you need to try out a few distros to find one that works perfectly with your hardware. always test them in live usb before installing to make sure that wifi, sound, etc works correctly.

Bazzit is based on fedora atomic desktop, which unfortunately don't allow user to test before install.

OP might want to try nobara or just fedora workstation. I personally find ubuntu works across most of the hardware, but people will need to manually update the kernels to get good gaming performance.

pop_os is another good contender.
