Mint Xfce LTS. I tried Ubuntu and Mint twice, and both times Mint 
worked better, as a linux expert you can probably fix it if you 
know what to fix. As for laptop hardware compatibility can be a 
concern, I found linux works well on a laptop that had linux 
preinstalled. I think unattended updates are a myth, so yeah, if 
you want to work as a support service, leave them enabled.
