I'm considering switching to Linux on my old secondary PC since Windows 11 is becoming less reliable for me. I've previously tried Edubuntu, but now I'm looking for a more robust Linux experience. My system specs include an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro graphics card, and 4GB of dual-channel RAM, along with both an SSD and HDD. I'm not looking for any fancy features—just a fast and stable desktop experience with quick loading times. It's also essential that the distribution I choose can properly handle my existing files and has good support for Ethernet connections.

If you're open to it, Xubuntu is another great option with a good balance of usability and performance!
Have you thought about checking out LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition)? It's great for what you’re looking for!
You could also consider Lubuntu, as it’s lightweight and easy to use. It should run smoothly on your hardware.
You might want to try Linux Mint with the Xfce desktop environment for better performance on lower-end hardware. It really does make a difference!
Linux Mint is a solid choice for newcomers! It's user-friendly and has a nice balance of performance and stability.
I've heard LMDE is really stable. Definitely worth a shot!
