I'd argue that Fedora 25 is cutting edge (Wayland) and works pretty well out of the box without any cringy tweaks. YMMV thought.

Except that on a modern nvidia card you can't even start the installer.
Having used Fedora 25, I'm reminded how Linux is getting to be in a pretty good shape for mainstream desktop use, except for this driver story where you usually end up in a fixed 1024x768 resolution with no guidance on what to do. It's frustrating how this is still an issue and I get how much of it is nvidia's fault, but still, for the end user it plays a huge role in how "ready" Linux feels.
...Or even with a laptop with dual videocards like most nowadays.
