Make sure to include a $20 SSD and install a lightweight Linux distribution on it.

You can simply use Windows 10 32 Bit for it.

Sure, I also handled that during the setup of Windows 10 on a vintage computer.

Based on what I found, it seems some installation requirements aren't met for Windows 10.

Windows 10 needs a minimum of 4GB RAM, which makes Linux seem like a solid choice. My current setup runs all anime distros, so I don’t have time for recommendations right now.

It can function, sure. It might work on a low-end device like mine. However, the experience won’t be great. Definitely not ideal. I’d recommend going with Linux—options like Mint Cinnamon, Pop! OS, or Ubuntu would be better choices.
