    Any of the up to date kernel releases should work , fedora is probably your best bet as it's got the lastest kernel version compared to ubuntu

    Thanks btw I have seen some posts on Reddit which says that it's not quite a good idea to install a linux distro on a lower end gaming machine cuz of many bugs.
    is it true? 
    ps: im a beginer so i don't know much about these things.

    Nah it's rubbish , yeh you may need to change some settings, but not because of bugs but because generally things are not optimised on Linux for laptops. 

    Unless you need to dual boot it usually better just to run it in a vm
