Need help picking the right Linux distro for my old dell laptop

I just want to give you some context. I was doing some research today. I went around looking for a Lennox distro for my dull laptop. I first installed Fedora. Linux desktop edition with KDE Plasma, and as I was using it I realised that it wasn’t running or functioning very smoothly so I got Linux Mint, and it still dos not feel that smooth even though I have done some research and I still keep getting Linux mint as a recommendation for my laptop's hardware and software that’s in my computer and I personally and honestly don’t know what to do and I’ve decided to turn to you all, the experts the people that have more knowledge, more experience, more of a brother idea of what direction I should be heading into so I hope to see what you all have and hopefully there will be something that will work out for me

red light on mac mini

Hello, I am in need of help with a problem I am having with my Mac Mini M2. I booted it up yesterday to use it, and I saw for the very first time the red blinking light, so I went to Google Gemini and asked it what to do, and it said that I should get a Type-C cable and plug one end into the Mac Mini and the other end into my MacBook Air M2. So, once I had done this, I held down the power button and waited until something happened on the configuration app, but nothing did until I let go of the power button. The Mac Mini showed up, so I pressed the reset button, and it did just that. Once it completed the first three out of four stages, it was fine until I got to stage number four, and it gave me an error 21 message. I asked Google Gemini, and it said it could be a hardware problem, and I should ask Apple Support. I did do this yesterday morning, and they were telling me to take it to an Apple service centre and get it fixed, so I did, and they told me I had to pay 230 SAR to get a check-up, so I said, 'Thank you,' and left. So, I am here to ask you all for your help and guidance to know how I can fix this and get my Mac Mini M2 to work.
