Linux Mint is a stable version that runs on most equipment, however the newest equipment doesn't always have drivers for the most stable distributions. The Linux Mint crew is working on providing a method to get the most recent drivers. You should try a different distribution that touts support for new equipment. I have been a Linux Mint user and fan for many years and I have never had a problem having everything working on equipment that is a few years old or much older meaning >18 years old.
