Well; hardware specs would be useful, for one thing. Knowing these, it will allow us to suggest distros based on your hardware....or lack of.
A reasonably high-spec modern machine will be able to run current mainstream distros in the manner you want, far easier than an elderly, low-spec machine. For such as these, you will need to be looking at something far more lightweight.
Please let us have your hardware specs (at minimum, CPU, amount & type of RAM, size & type of hard drive, graphics card (or chip) in use.....that kind of thing).
Mike.
