the last time i used a minimalist distro on an old thinkpad; x windows was so heavy that it noticeably slowed everything down. not so much that it wasn’t still useful, but that was only true if i didn’t use kde or gnome or watch netflix on chrome; it sounds like that hasn’t changed much in 20 years.
What distro did you put on it?
debian, due to the good 32bit support
Nice. Seems kind of appropriate, given the age of the machine (besides the 32bit support).
don’t know about distro but I can see KDE logo there.
no, that’s in fact lxqt, kde is too heavy for this old machine

Look at the bottom left corner. It looks like Lubuntu to me.
