Lubuntu is perfect for PCs from 2010, saving a PC with version 20.04 LTS still works. Lubuntu comes standard with easy access desktop, immediate search and manageable folder manager.

Zorin is a smooth open-source OS without any lagging issue and all. UX is also very good as compared to other Linux based OS. It's quite similar to windows OS so it's very easy to use for a new user or first-time user
