    This is pretty new hardware with Intel UHD 630
    Please post output of inxi -Fxz from the live-usb

    Suggestions
    Start with antiX17.4.1
    First for sure you need a newer kernel,at least 4.19.25 ,it’s possible to install it on the usb-stick with persistence

    You maybe also need newer firmware and mesa libraries for the intel gpu than debian stretch offers.
    You can enable the debian-backports-repos to install them.Don’t forget to disable the backports-repos afterwards.

    After this is done, you can also install the nvidia-driver on the live-usb with the baked-in nvidia-installer.It will install everything that is needed for you and should detect your hybrid-graphic(bumblebee)
    control-centre –> drivers –> nvidia-driver-install
    (I would not chose the backports-enabling during nvidia-installation, heard about some bugs, stick with the stretch, it’s 390.87-8)
    That’s what you can try on antiX17, I’m sure it’s possible to get it to work.

    Other choices would be to set the repos to testing, all software would be up to date, but testing is not everyone’s cup of tea.
    Or you wait for antiX19 which will be buster,in the mean time have a look at MX-linux,which offers a lot of backported stuff anyway and in their test-repos.
    Good luck, have fun !
