Does this answer your question? [How do I find out which version and derivative of Ubuntu is right for my hardware in terms of minimal system requirements?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/206407/how-do-i-find-out-which-version-and-derivative-of-ubuntu-is-right-for-my-hardwar)

You can use the same software on any Ubuntu flavor, however they may not all run it as efficiently as other choices, picking the desktop that shares the same libraries as your end-use applications will mean you're not needing multiple libraries that do the same thing (one for desktop, one for end-user application) and thus using more resources. If you've 8gb or more; you can ignore this. You didn't specify release, nor applications - so you can compare yourself (MATE is GTK3 for all supported releases; XFCE is GTK3 from 20.04 up, Lubuntu is Qt5 from 18.10 up etc.)

Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS will be good choice.

@JihadurRahman MATE will be a good choice if you're using GTK3 apps but we have no knowledge of what you're using. Out of the box LXQt is lighter so you've more RAM available for other apps; but if you're using GTK3 apps then the extra RAM available is mostly *moot*; ie. end-user apps + desktop decide what libraries/toolkits will be needed in memory; most efficient is picking a combination that reduces duplication. (my prior comment) which we cannot answer as we haven't said what you use. If you're a developer you should understand these details (Qt5 is used by android/windows apps too)

@JihadurRahman Try the popular flavors from live USBs without installing them. You may or may not feel a spark towards one of them.

Advice: If you don't have a preference about which desktop environment to use, then stick to the defaults.

One of the reasons you selected Ubuntu was likely it's reputation for safe, sane defaults and a great user experience.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
