I have a computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, socket 775, 2GHz (capacity 
4GHz( 64 bits width, clock 333 MHz,
all this from LSHW, and I had OpenSUSE Leap on it, dated (roughly) 
September 2020. I now have Mageia on
it, dated (roughly) November 2020, and it runs too. So perhaps you 
should try one of these, so you can
keep an rpm-based system. (I find I don't particularly like Mageia--it 
is a too restrictive, Mama knows best
kind of distro.) But that is a secondary computer; I run OpenSUSE 
Tumbleweed on my main machine which
is much more modern. So perhaps try one of the OpenSUSE versions. What 
the heck--downloads are free,
and it will only take 45 minutes or so to know if one will run, so try 
one of these before going into deb country.
