It’s one of the ones I only have indirect experience with. A YouTuber I like reviewed it recently.

Off of the top of my head: DSL (damn small Linux) recently made a comeback, last I checked. There’s also Tiny Core Linux, which I’ve seen working even on old pentiums on a YouTube video. Puppy Linux of course. There’s so many flavors of Puppy Linux.
Now, actually referencing Distrowatch: Linux Lite, Peppermint OS
I know there’s more, but I have direct or indirect experience with all of these.
I used to, but I’ve settled into MX Linux with KDE everywhere except my laptop. It has Ubuntu Studio so I can try out the software it has for my Midi Keyboard.
Hey, friend, I believe I was the first one to reply to your original post.
I’m glad you got your system into a working condition.
I wanted to suggest something that I used to hear suggested a lot but don’t hear much anymore: perhaps you should get a cheap, second-hand laptop just to use for experimenting with Linux before you try installing it on your main system again? I know it worked for me when I first started using Linux, circa 2013.
Personally I like MX Linux with KDE. It’s been the most stable OS I’ve used.
My husband (and by extension me, since I am kinda his tech support sometimes) uses Linux Mint, and he’s found it to be stable. It’s based on Ubuntu, the most popular distro, so it’s easy to find support.
Good luck!
Look up how to access the BIOS menu on your motherboard. (Should be able to look it up using your phone.) And then you should be able to change the boot order of your system so that it boots into your Windows drive. (If you don’t know which drive it is, just keep changing the order until it works.)
Usually, all you need to do is just rapidly press F2, F10, F12, or Delete after turning your system on. But like I said, look up your motherboard’s manual to be sure. Your motherboard model number will be on the motherboard itself.
Very nice!
