Recently I’ve gave up Windows for Linux and installed Ubuntu with KDE Plasma desktop on my pc and laptop from 2007. It’s an i7 Intel processor with 8gb ddr ram so I thought it would be fine, but it seems quite sluggish. What distro could I use that would be faster and still fully functional? Thanks for your help in advance.

Based on another commenter’s advice I installed openSuse tumbleweed and it is quite snappy and I like it
Yes, good stuff. I used it, worked well.
Linux I don’t want to learn two sets of commands.
Across POSIX-compatible systems commands are same, except system-specific like packet manager
