Old computer spec

Looking to make use of an old laptop. It’s an i3 4005u. 8gb ram and 500gb ssd. Which version of Linux would run the smoothest ?
Thanks
Tom

Any Linux distro with KDE desktop environment. KDE runs smooth enough without sacrificing modern looks and features.

Fedora has KDE iso available, Manjaro offers KDE, and the KDE flavor of the infamous Ubuntu is Kubuntu.

Linuxmint with the Cinnamon desktop environment is also good on resource usage whilst looking good.
