New Linux users seem to do a lot of switching distributions because something doesn't get detected and set up automatically in one. With Linux, you have to learn to do some internet searching to MAKE things work. Often it isn't nearly as hard as one would think. If it works in one distro automatically, there's no reason it can't work in another just because it wasn't automatically detected.
Note that there is a stickied distro recommendation thread in this forum as well, you might want to take a glance at that.
