Looking for informations and advices

Hi ,

I am a bit new to Linux and I've installed Lubuntu on an old computer. Long story short, it seems Lubuntu is still too greedy for my setup and I'm looking for a lighter Linux distribution. I think Q4OS could work well on my computer but I haven't been able to find the video card memory minimum requirement. Could it work with a NVIDIA G86M [GeForce 8400M GS] (rev a1) that has 128 Mo of GDDR3 ?

Could you tell me what is the :
- minimum video card memory requirement ?
- Recommended video card memory requirement ?

Will I be lost coming from Lubuntu ?

Also, I wanna use this computer for web developpement. So I need to be able to install a bunch of software like Codium, PgAdmin, Node, Postgres, Redis, Mongo... Is it possible on this distribution ? is it hard ?

My computer config is :

I have found 2 names for the computer, I think both are ok :
- Computer Name : Samsung SR70S
- Computer Name : Samsung NP-R70A002/SEF
- Type : x64
- Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo CPU - T7300 - 2.00 GHz
- BIOS : Phoenix Technologies LTD TrustedCore NB Service Pack 3B Version 0.0 04AB - 08/06/2007
- Hard Drive MBR/MSDOS : 935 Go
- RAM : 3072 Mb
- Video Card : NVIDIA G86M [GeForce 8400M GS] (rev a1) with 128 Mo of GDDR3
- Memory BUS : 64 Bit

Thanks a lot
