Well, Linux Mint will make ur system much more faster if u r interested to try :)
I also have a very old DELL laptop with 2gb, and it works very well with Windows 8.1 and Linux Mint, especially Mint, it never felt slow.
steam and firefox are obviously hungry, someone with 2 or 1gb wouldn't play games on steam anyway, drm-free would be a wise choice, for the browser? I think brave is much faster.

I’m not made of money. Programmers are going to have to produce more efficient titles or I’m not good to participate.
Thankfully, there’s indie.

And 4 GPUs. "Just in case".

Some distributions run fine with less than 1gb. I think xubuntu will happily play with 1.

Fortunately RAM is cheap right now.

Lol. I'm sitting here running Lubuntu on a 2gb machine.
Granted, 2 isn't enough and it hangs sometimes, but it works quite well almost all the time.

I've considered it. I got it running on a super old dell that shipped with win95!
Linux is wonderful, ain't it? 😁
