HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Agreed, KDE is a RAM hog and OP has an Atom Processor.

Well, in the past I'd have agreed with that statement but I've been using Q4OS for like 3 months or so, the KDE version and on boot RAM usage is around 350mb, and it's installed in a USB stick!! It runs pretty fast too, considering. I'm writing this from it; chromium + 3 tabs open, cmus running in the terminal, dolphin and claws-mail: RAM usage is around 950mb. Yeah, I know most of these apps are really lighweight but still ... I'm growing really fond of this distro apart from a couple of Q4OS tools is basically a Debian install with KDE as DE which is one of the things I like the most too.

I remember when downloading an mp3 4mb took 20 minutes and the worst part is someone picking up the phone right at 99% with no resumability

I remember those times too and look at us now! Some people can download a 4GB file less than 10 mins! For me it'd take like 2 hours or so, my internet's speed isn't that fast; in a good day or from 2-3 a.m up to 9-10 a.m max speed is around 500-550kbps but most of the times is around 300-400kbps and even slower which is a pain if downloading big files

Hello,
Thank you for everyone who spent time for supporting me.
This is a very friendly community.

So I decide that I would choose LUBUNTU. ( and I'M ALSO GOING TO CHECK AT Q4OS )
AS a new comer I hope I will get enough support further.

Again thank you for every one.

And another question,
What is the different between i3wm and i3gaps.
I thought i3wm is a software that i can *customize my desktop's and window's look*.
What is i3gaps and what is the best software that i can do the above work.

Lubuntu will work yes.

Download Lubuntu and try it Live on your machine and see how it runs before you install it.

if my memory serves me correctly i3-gaps is a derivative of i3wm. You want to get gaps as it will install i3. gaps give you gaps in between the windows. Looks much nicer

I installed Slackware years ago and loved it. I'm trying to install Debian right now and I'm on the edge of a mental breakdown as a result.

i3-gaps is a fork of i3wm as explained here https://github.com/Airblader/i3. i3WM is a windows manager and like most window managers you can customize it to your liking. What is a window manager? read here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/window_manager I like awesome-wm https://awesomewm.org/ mostly because it's keyboard dirven; I can use my system without much clicking but by using some key-combos. If you plan on using i3wm reading here https://i3wm.org/docs/ is a must.

I'm so accustomed to i3 now that I don't really care what distro I am using because it looks the same. But I have to say AUR makes everything much easier but Arch breaks too often. My Arch broke and I have to reinstall it again and reconfigure everything.
