For a old laptop with Intel atom processor and I think 2gb ram.

    You can do a really slim install of Debian that should work. For DE I recommend LXQT.

    If you’re feeling adventurous, Alpine might be slightly lighter. It’s a good distro.

    Those specs are not going to get you a terribly fast experience, but my laptop runs Debian ok and it’s in the same ballpark.

    Also, I’ll just mention that it all means nothing as soon as you open a browser window. Then all your RAM is gonna be used up anyway.
