Unhappy Inspiron 3700 best distro


What would be the best linux distro as far as performance and user-friendly goes? I've looked and looked but I can't find one that my brother could use w/out being confused, and w/out crashing his computer, but I've had no luck (don't try telling me about DistroWatch, it's been no help to me)

I'm wanting to get as close to Ubuntu as I can, but the problem is, the computer can't handle Ubuntu or similar performance requirements.

What was the problem when installing ubuntu?
Since it is an old laptop I would suggest Xubuntu
