To the Linux experts:
I have a 12-year-old laptop from Acer. It got 8GB of RAM and a Intel i5 processor. I want to use it for work. It should be able to run VS Code, a browser and maybe VirtualBox. Currently, I installed Ubuntu Server, and it works pretty good (even VMs). But I'm planning to get a new monitor and use it with a Desktop OS. The OS should also not look bad, and it should run fluent 75% of the time. Any distro recommendations? I have some experience with Linux.
