MoobythegoldensockKubuntu if you want KDE. Your hardware should run it fine. Mint XFCE or Xubuntu if you want to optimize for speed.
entropicdriftJust adding on that if you do go Kubuntu, OP, get the LTS 22.04 version. Since you’ve got older hardware there’s really not much point in using newer kernels. Ubuntu LTS (and therefore Mint, since it’s based on it) is just rock solid in the “just works” category as long as your hardware isn’t super new.
