That's good advice: check whether your machine has the RAM soldered on
or has an SODIMM: it might be easy&cheap to find a pair of old 1GB
SODIMMs to replace the likely pair of 512KB SODIMMs you have.

If it is 4Gb or less you should probably use i386 instead of the amd64
version of Debian.
I'd start with Debian 10 and LXDE or LxQt:

My 2 cents worth, Deb10 with either Mate or xfce desktop. KDE/plasma is great,
but I find it slow to load on i7 with 8G ram and add. It has more config
options, but I've gotten over that. Oh, I don't boot often, but I've grown
impatient.
As I said, my 2 cents worth.
