You might want to look into MX Linux. It's a Debian-based distro that offers a good balance of performance, package selection, administration tools etc. I'm running it on my 10yo Thinkpad right now and it's very speedy without relying on ancient software versions.

I put MX Linux on my Surface tablet and keyboard cover. Works great.
+1 for MX. Been using it for a while and I love it.
