KDE on my Fedora laptop is like 650-700MB of RAM, with everything from the Plasma/KDE meta package installed. I can get it down to 400 if I disable the contact process (can't remember the name of it)

it's fine. If I were using an old computer I'd use openbox.

I use Debian because I tried it once, and I have no objections at the moment.

Usually fedora but definitely prefer Parabola for certain citations
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html
My criteria is basically "how much of it is FOSS and is it a distribution I am familiar enough with"
Edit: can't believe I forgot to even mention devaun. I used to use it before I switched to fedora. also pleasee pleaseeee pleaseee someone start back up a forked heads (https://heads.dyne.org/) development

If you get a FOSS USB wifi adapter. This one was last time I purchased it, but that was a couple years ago: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WN722N-Wireless-network-Adapter/dp/B002SZEOLG/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=tp+link+usb+wireless+adapter&qid=1596407661&sr=8-8
Takes a bit of fiddling around, but basically you download the firmware and put it in a folder on the distribution

I currently use GNU Guix System (GuixSD). Previously (i.e. in the previous decade) I used Debian, Trisquel, and Ubuntu.
My criteria for GNU/Linux distros are more or less the GNU free distro guidelines, plus whether it is easy for an intermediate-advanced user to install and use. I don't really care about systemd.
