        best option

        Ubuntu is popular and new-user friendly. And xfce is generally lighter on resources. It’s a good choice.

        What can I do

        Almost everything.
        Some proprietary apps you’ve used from windows may not be available, but equivalent ones would be available on linux.
        Stuff like browsing the web(provided that you don’t open too many tabs, because you have low ram) and watching movies n all is quite good.
        What all things fo you intend to do on it? I think it’ll be easier to check that the things you want are there.

        Think of it as Windows 7 in terms of functionality but with a Windows Vista/XP GUI.

        That said, your CPU’s performance will increase noticebly on Linux.
