Recently I’ve gave up Windows for Linux and installed Ubuntu with KDE Plasma desktop on my pc and laptop from 2007. It’s an i7 Intel processor with 8gb ddr ram so I thought it would be fine, but it seems quite sluggish. What distro could I use that would be faster and still fully functional? Thanks for your help in advance.

    I ran Mint with Maté until recently on a core2duo with 4GB of RAM and it ran quite well.

    I only really retired that machine because I bought a new daily driver… It still works fine actually (except for the battery)
