I'm currently using a light laptop with an integrated graphics card and an Intel i5 from the 10th generation. It has 8GB of RAM, which I can't upgrade, and it includes a touchscreen. It originally came with Windows 10, but it's not running smoothly on that OS. I'm looking for a lightweight alternative that can support the touchscreen feature and allow me to run VS Code for light programming tasks.

You might want to look into Endeavor OS with the KDE or LXQt desktop environment if you're after something really lightweight. It's a nice option for lower specs and still provides a good interface!
I've been using Fedora Kinoite on my convertible laptop, and it works really well! If you're considering development, you might want to check out Fedora KDE instead, as it integrates better with VS Code without needing containers.
It would help to know your laptop's specific model. If it's a Microsoft Surface Laptop 3, that could influence the installation steps or the choice of OS.
