Anyone know minimum requirements to run Ubuntu. The main flavor as well as any other you want to share. Also, suggest any other distrio for a 15 year old laptop. Thanks.

If you have more than 4GB of RAM you can install most distros. If not, I’d list my specs, especially the RAM.
Also, IMO, it’s less the distro itself. It’s more what DE (desktop environment) you choose. The DE is a set of preograms that responsible for the graphical part (like the taskbar, icons, settings).
The distro only help to save you the time/effort changing DE.
Anyways, distros:
x32: Zorin Lite 32bit (little older), Puppy Linux, Bodhi Linux, antiX, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, PeppermintOS, MX Linux.
x64: ZorinOS Lite, Ubuntu MATE, PeppermintOS, Linux Lite.
DEs: LXDE, LXQt, XFCE.
KDE is light-ish (new versions only).
I’d recommend you to stay away from Gnome.
Apparently I answered the first half only in my head…
