Well, I don’t know much about the Linux options in general, but we don’t do anything complex. For this average home-user, Mint is fine.
Except for compatibility with some items that work off of MS software, like sewing and other craft machines, I haven’t needed anything that Mint can’t handle. (And I think some of those are being offered that work with Linux, too, now.)

Even the models you have now may have new Linux software available as of recent. A dig through the manufacturers support may find these for you. :)
For the average new Linux user not familiar with Linux Mint is the best. I have tried them all and stick with Mint myself as the easiest and most stable to use.
