From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just see if you can tolerate Debian and lxqt before you start doing weird stuff.
What kind of weird mutant laptop is this? You may have more and cheaper upgrade options available than you think…
E: I found a couple of laptops that ship with that processor and gpu and they all seem to have two ram slots and ship one stick of ram in the 8gb configuration. A ram upgrade in that case would be $30 or so. Even if you needed to swap two sticks it would only be $50 to go to 16gb and help you a lot.
The ones I saw all had an nvme slot and a sata port with an ssd installed in one of em. I have had great luck speeding up slow ssds with spinrite running its level 3. I’ll spare you the explanation but it really works.
