What’s wrong with installing WinXP+office and calling it a day? Even if someone fulfilled your request and got an up-to-date browser etc working on your 256MB laptop Would YouTube even work?

I have an old laptop running XP, and I hoped to improve it by installing Linux. It got much slower. So yes, XP is a good candidate, IMHO.
