Linux Mint is the easiest one from the list, but all of them except Solus are fine. I personally recommend Mint or Debian, Debian Sid if you want latest kernel.

No, I don’t really need it.

KDE should work fine, maybe with a bit of tweaking?

I thought about that too. If that doesn’t work out, Xfce/LXDE/LXQT it is.

Well uhhhhhhh, when my "laptop"s plug is pulled out or the power goes out, it’s dead :D. might need a battery change or an ups…
