I am currently using windows 10 and don't want to move to windows 11. Please recommend some linux distros.

I have got a sony svf153a1yw from 2013. It has an intel core i5 4200u with 4 gb ram, nvidia gt 740m and a 500 gb hdd. I have got windows 10 on it, so i was looking for some upgrade recommendations to make it feel a bit smoother to use. It has a 768p display so please tell if i can upgrade its display or not. Would be really helpful if someone were to recommend.

I know java basics and i am looking for something useful to learn. Please recommend a programming language which will allow me to understand computer architecture better and will prove to be useful in the future.
