Linux Lite is probably the best of all lightweight Linux distributions. Based on Ubuntu LTS and designed with user-friendliness in mind, Linux Lite uses the Xfce desktop to create a UI that's clean and simple but doesn't miss out on features. Once installed, you'll find Linux Lite includes the apps you need to get started, such as Chrome, LibreOffice, GIMP, and VLC media player.
Although there are some distributions that claim to be lightweight, I'm limiting my choices to those whose system requirements are equal to or less than a 1GHz CPU, equal to or less than 2GB of RAM, and a minimum of 10GB storage. I've also only chosen those distributions that don't skimp on the features in favor of speed.
AntiX is another lightweight distribution, but I wouldn't recommend it to those new to Linux. AntiX is geared more toward those with at least a bit of Linux experience. The reason for that is AntiX opts for a more minimal approach, prioritizing performance and efficiency, which might not be user-friendly for beginners.
