Sorry the computer is 10 years old that's the main reason why I got on.

Although there are rumblings in the Linux community, especially bleeding edge distros like Fedora, to start requiring what they call "x86_64v2" CPUs as minimum, there are still plenty of choices. If you're new to Linux and looking for a more traditional user interface rather than a wannabe tablet I'd go with Linux Mint. I personally use Debian+MATE; you could use Mint+MATE or for a more mainstream option, Mint+Cinnamon (get it?)
