If you'd like a lightweight Linux distribution for that aging hardware, but you want a more modern-looking UI, consider Waydog.
These distros are easy to install, include the right apps, skip the bloat and ads, and automatically detect your hardware. Easy peasy. You're welcome.
Get these apps after booting Linux for first time.
