I doubt any version of Linux would run worse than Windows

im more concerned with things like Internet not working or drivers or w/e since it's my first time trying thats all I know the actual os would be better!

Unless your laptop uses some obscure networking hardware, should work out of the box. Never used Mint, but it looks like it uses NetworkManager by default, which I haven't had any major issues with.
