Note: A better way to use youtube is through the Invidious front-end. If you are on Android, you can use Newpipe available on Android. I really like newpipe because they have an option to change the content of the Main Page which allows you to remove the youtube recommendation page and instead replace it with whatever you want.

A lot of people have low-resource computers. For such people, running windows is not an efficient option. I myself have a computer with 2 GB RAM and Intel i3 3rd generation processor and windows 10, the latest version of windows ran like trash. So here are a few operating systems that perform well on my system:
Good option if you don't have/can't use your own computer or you want a portable OS, you can install MX Linux in a USB and then use your friend's computer or any available computer.
Good place to start if you choose to install a linux on your computer. Has a decent forum where you can get help if you want to. Works well out of the box.
If you are willing to invest some more time and energy to get a more faster and lighter system, you can try Arch Linux with i3 using either the arch-installer or install arch manually with the help of arch wiki. i3wm is a tiling window manager so it might not be the most comfortable for new users. My installation of Arch Linux with i3wm (without any compositor ) took about 160 MB of RAM.
Gentoo is a fascinating project.
Arch without systemd, took only about 125 MB RAM with dwm.
ArchLabs Linux is an Arch Linux based distribution, influenced and inspired by the look and feel of BunsenLabs with the intermediate to advanced user in mind.
Nix is also a facinating project :)
guix is also a facinating project :)
dwm is a tiling window manager. It is the one I use. I needed a tiling window manager that just works the way I want, and dwm is good for that as you can just tweak the souce code adn compile it again. It is lightweight and fast and works well for me. I have heard that xmonad is better than dwm but I haven't tried it yet.
