Most linux distros would fit the bill for that. Very often it is the desktop environment that kills resources on your machine. So if you have a slow computer make sure to pick a desktop environment that is lightweight (Gnome likely won't give you good results). XFCE would be great. I used stock Ubuntu + Xfce for years on an slow chromebook level computer for Youtube videos, social media, Netflix and so on without issues. The machine had 4Gigs of ram and a crappy dual core cpu. Go with Ubuntu + XFCE.
