You can install a Linux distro on a USB flash drive if you just want to test it out and see how your hardware works.

    It has AMD integrated graphics which should be supported natively by virtually every new computer/laptop if I'm not mistaken, what distribution did you try?

    Either Zorin or Mint, what do you think?

    Out of those two I would probably go with Mint, but they are comparably simple, so neither would be a bad choice. Make sure to backup your data, but otherwise you probably shouldn't have any issues with the install, check out ExplainingComputers on YouTube if you need a tutorial, he does a lot of stuff with Mint and put out a new Zorin video last month.
