So I would like some Linux distro suggestions for my HP Pavilion 360, intel i7 and Nvidia mx250. Ideally it would be a gaming/productivity machine on Linux, dual booted with windows for lighter stuff.

I tried Linux mint and attempted installing pop os, but the one that really stuck out to me was Ubuntu Studio. However upon installing, my graphics cards seemed to not be recognized. It wasn't a driver issue, according to the bios messages it was not powering on during startup. Secure boot was off and I am sure it was a software issue, not a bios issue.

Is there a distro (preferably updated more frequently that linux mint) that will play fair with my older hardware?
