older laptop distro recommendarion - eviltoast

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.

    The ssd made a world of difference! I don’t think the old hdd is dying, the system still worked well with the original win7, but now everything is blazing fast.
