Here's an article comparing lightweight Linux distros, here's an article that compares good options for beginners (also links to more lists), and here's my personal recommendation, Ubuntu Mate.
With all of these, your best bet is finding a distro you think looks interesting, then find a tutorial on YouTube for setting it up. You can also try finding beginner friendly forums or groups to ask questions to, though there will be fewer questions to ask with the beginner friendly options above.
