I have an older MacBook Pro from 2015 with an Intel Core i5 and 256GB of storage. I've tried running Fedora with KDE Plasma and Ubuntu, but the performance wasn't great. I'm looking for recommendations on which Linux distribution might work better for my setup. Any suggestions?

Check out forums related to Linux on Mac. Searching for your specific model can lead you to other users' experiences and solutions—they might have figured out how to optimize performance for your MacBook.
You might want to try Linux Mint 22.2 with the XFCE edition. It’s lightweight and could run smoother on older hardware.
Switching to another distro might not solve your performance issues, as there could be other factors at play. It might help to clarify what you mean by 'bad performance.' For instance, how long does it take for specific applications to launch or for web pages to load? Sharing some numbers could help us give better advice.
