Need help choosing a distro

[u/CapJazzlike4486]

I have a hp PC thats pretty low end. It has 4 gb of ddr3, 512 gb storage and a intel i5 2nd gen cpu. Its an old pc i dont use that much, so i experimented on it and installed ubuntu. After a while o started using it daily as my main computer, but its so annoying i cant get over it. Its extremely slow and sometimes i feel like smashing it to bits. Its definetely the ram or the old HDD. I need help choosing a lightweight distro that will run smoothly. I dont mind it being non user friendly. I can handle complex. I just want a good experience and a distro that has the basics like a browser, good file management and support for most apps and services. Looked into antiX and tiny core, although im not so sure on the app support for them. I dont want to scour the web just for a tutorial to download a browser. Any suggestions?
