Try a Debian based distro. So Debian, mint, Ubuntu, kubuntu.
Ubuntu comes with gnome, looks and feels Mac os ish
Kubuntu comes with KDE and looks like windows.
Mint is kinda like kubuntu
Debian comes with what ever DE you’ll install.
Debian (based) distros are usually the most stable ones with good (Driver) support all around.
I’ve had to come across a device which had any issue after an install with those distros.
All of them will game, if that’s something you worry about.

You could also try Fedora with KDE or Gnome.

Yeah, probably. You could just boot from a USB stick with f.e. Ubuntu on it and see what works.
Dunno if testing reason 10 is possible on a stick but you could at least check the HW.
I’ve got an 8bit duo controller and it works flawless.
