Immutable Linux for low end PCs?

I got lubuntu running on an apollo lake celeron Chromebook from 2020 with 4GB of ram and a 32GB eMMC drive. For the most part it does pretty well with web surfing, email, document/spreadsheets etc. There is quite a bit of delay (on the order of a minute or two) when using Discover to update anything, or to even browse the store. I don't know if that's due to lubuntu not loading discover when the Chromebook boots up for some reason or that the eMMC drive is really that slow.

I have a 128GB micro SD card in it as well that I am trying to set up as the main drive location for Discover to install things to, but it's giving me some issues.

I haven't tried any gaming yet, because of the micro SD card issues, but once I get that figured out, I plan on installing Heroic Games Launcher, and then installing some lighter weight games, I have RCT3 and SimCity 2000 in my GOG library, as well as the original 1993 Myst and 1997 Riven games. I think all four of those should run okay, but I'm not sure what overhead WINE/Proton will add to the mix.

Dead YT channels that you stay subscribed to and visit every now and then?

Sammie Kohn. Used to love her videos. Then she changed platforms or something and her content quality went downhill :(

Edit: I had to refresh myself on what happened. I guess she had a bunch of copyright infringement warnings for reacting to different shows. And ended up making her own website. Can't remember why I didn't follow her over. Maybe she had moved everything behind a paywall and I couldn't afford it, I don't recall.
