Are you using flatpack or normal installs of firefox/chromium?
Do you have a bunch of/ any addons?
It really shouldn’t load very slow.
I have some VERY old systems. One with only 3GB RAM and the onboard video out to DisplayPort to an HDMI adapter.
Loads fine.
Vivaldi runs much faster though.
Consider disabling background services and apps you don’t need.
Mint xfce is a super lightweight version. Can be customized in nearly infinite ways to match your needs.
Any Linux DE or distro you choose will require some learning, some tinkering.
Imagine being a new user to windows nowadays and trying to figure out where your settings are.
Are they in control panel, settings, msinfo, or some other command line only accessible thing, what do these hexcodes in this registry thing mean?
If you choose to do a little learning and a little tinkering, you choose the ability to do things your way. Sometimes it’s simple. Sometimes it isn’t. But for the most part, for most people, any problem is a simple fix.
The best resources i know of are The Arch wiki for setup and config for almost everything; overstack for those unique or odd questions; and your distros docs and community pages.
