[uberman]

I'm well aware they offer both Ubuntu and Pop. After all, I was just there looking to purchase a workstation. Ubuntu might be your cup of tea but I personally don't care for Snap. I know absolutely nothing about Pop!_OS. Neither of these options are ones I would choose.

It would have been nice (imho) if they offered Mint as an option as it would potentially save me the pain of hunting down the proper drivers and hoping I can figure out how to install them and get the workstation I want to actually work.
