“KDE is heavy” is so 2000s. It’s been quite a while since KDE is very tight on resources usage. Unless you’re running a raspberry or similar, there’s no point on constraining yourself with one of those desktops for an everyday use device.
All good, but I think it’s really often a misconception that a DE like KDE, which is big and brings tons of features, must be more ressource intensive than a (feature wise) smaller DE. Which, as the benchmarks show, is surprisingly not the case.
It would be smooth as butter with a lightweight desktop (probably not KDE). I suggest Linux Mint XFCE edition

Look on phoronix for benchmarks. Plasma consumes less RAM and CPU than even XFCE.
