Best bet is try a live distro, which is one that runs of a disk as so you can see what it is like.

They have the non-gpl'ed / proprietary drivers in them

Something like Mageia 3 live has them. not tried any others in a while tbh.

See here https://www.mageia.org/en/downloads/

It's the "LiveCDs and LiveDVDs" ones you want. with regards DM

I've always found Mint to have great support including wireless.
