I'm running Debian 12 on an Intel i5-2500K (integrated graphics) with 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD and it runs smooth and rock solid.

I like Gnome a little more than KDE.

If you can, find another old computer that still works, maybe replace the mechanical hard drive with a solid state drive and install Linux Mint or even the new Debian 12. I have Debian running on an old computer with an Intel i5-2500k processor and it is rock solid. As far as learning linux, I recommend https://www.learnlinux.tv/ as a starting point. Jay is very good at explaining.
