I'm new to Linux and computer science in general. I'm currently running Ubuntu with KDE Plasma on an old ThinkPad with a Celeron CPU and 4GB of RAM. I'm thinking about making the switch to Arch Linux, but I need a lightweight version that will work well on my laptop. Any recommendations?

Arch itself is a solid choice if you're looking to fully customize and learn. While it can have a steep learning curve, it's super rewarding once you get it set up! Just keep in mind, it might take some time.
You might want to check out EndeavourOS and select the XFCE desktop environment during installation. It should run pretty smoothly on your ThinkPad!
I agree! I had a blast building my Arch setup. But if you're busy, consider just using Arch with a desktop environment for a smoother experience.
