Contrary to popular belief, Linux will not run on a toaster, nor
woefully out of date hardware.

If you're going to use and older laptop and want a desktop
experience, use XFCE on your choice (Mint).  BUT . . .  if you want
to go lighter, faster, use a window manager for your GUI environment.
Take a look at antiX Linux, https://antixlinux.com/ , with iceWM for
the window manager.  Try it, you'll like it. It's not Windows, but
should be easy to adapt to.
