My solution has entirely just been to own less things and designated spots for every item. The main problem is forcing myself not to get cool things I will never actually use

Debian can be pretty light/small on a clean install and xfce should run fine on 2gb. Although the biggest thing is gonna be if the laptop has fast storage or not. Since its a celeron it might not be upgradeable, and if it doesnt already have an SSD any desktop will feel slow

Personally if I really wanted to squeeze all the performance I could for web browsing I'd go with minimal Debian and RiverWM but thats a bit more involved

In a similar vein I really miss rainmeter, now I've gone down the deep rabbit hole of EWW and AGS but rainmeter was way easier

Can't go wrong with just booting the live environment and seeing if it works. Just check your display is the right resolution and your speakers and brightness work before installing. I also recommend checking it's actually running off of the 1050ti too

Ubuntu maintains it's own package library which is far newer then Debians but less tested/stable. Debian only releases new version when it's team feels their ready. However Debian does keep up to date with security patches

If you would like a distro that keeps itself up to date try out Fedora, it's updated every 6 months and has been super popular lately

Note that if you use flatpacks they will be up to date no matter what distro you choose, making Debian a very stable option while still getting new features in applications

Edit: edited to answer the question more clearly

I wanted to use stremio but since it's torrent based it needs a VPN to use no? Last I checked the regular streaming site addon for stremio no longer exists and cloud stream works well enough to not put in the effort to switch

T480($145) + dual heat pipes upgrade($30) and it's amazing. I never hear the fan unless I'm compiling something! Hoping one day a mx150 motherboard will be $150ish so I can play my favorite older games in bed
