You'll need more clarity on your requirements since preferences vary. For my setup on Ubuntu, it works well because I only require simple Linux virtual machines to handle tasks like PiHole and Cloudflare Dynamic DNS updates.
I had a Pentium processor from Intel, but it was extremely slow.
On solid equipment, standard Ubuntu performs smoothly. However, it isn't ideal for older machines. @Underi has a point—Lubuntu or Xubuntu would be better choices for outdated systems. Even then, using old hardware usually leads to frustration. Unlike macOS or Windows, Ubuntu doesn’t have a universal list of supported devices. Still, there’s potential. You can explore https://www.linux.com/news/my-hardware-l...-out-here/ for guidance on compatibility. In short, for any fresh, capable setup, Ubuntu works well. For older but still decent hardware, Xubuntu or Lubuntu should suffice. Anything that was weak when it first came out may face challenges with modern desktop interfaces.
