Linux runs great on hardware regardless of its age. Hundreds of millions of people rely on PCs that are several years old or even older.

I can attest to that. One of my systems I'm running Manjaro (KDE) on is a Sony Vaio PCG-61A12L (circa 2012) with an ancient i5 processor and 6 GB of memory. Manjaro isn't even considered a lightweight distro.

I don't use it every day but I could for routine stuff like email and web browsing. The HDD is nearing end of life. Even after it eventually goes I'll still be able to boot Linux from a thumb drive and use the laptop once in a while - mostly I just use it when I want to ssh into another machine but don't want to be at my desk.

"LINUX" is an acronym: Linux Is Not UniX
