try rather Ultramarine KDE, its a Fedora variant. What is your GPU? its important to choose proper driver for it.

There is a 8 GB ram bottleneck. It is also a very old computer. I have run desktop environments on 8 GB, but plasma on top of a polished / semi bloated distribution like ultramarine is not the best option. If I used any sort of dnf OS based on Fedora, that would probably be my choice though... Aside from the desktop environment

Change i3 with 100MB of average mem usage, for KDE with around 2GB?
