I have a few years old, weak laptop, don't have specs right now, but it pretty slow.

I want to use it as a Linux laptop for stuff not heavier than internet browsing. What distro would be best to use that has lowest performance impact, but is secure?

Would Alpine be best for this?

Yeah, I ran KDE for years. I believe im mostly on mate now but I have several systems so I don't always remember what I am using on them since I don't use them all daily.

Small correction: LXDE isn't dead, but the original crew moved over to the QT release. So depending on if you prefer GTK or QT desktop engine is the one you'd pick.
