It seems like you did lots of research, I’m sure things will work out.

Yeah but there’s weird malls specifically to replicate western experiences, so that makes sense. This isn’t even in Islamabad or wherever that art uni the core a gaming vid I shared is located

TL;DR : Just
installtry the live ISO of one of these :cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/…/iso-hybrid/ (click the one that says LXQt or XFCE) lubuntu.me (this OS is specifically aimed at beginners) fedoraproject.org/spins/lxqt/
Let me answer your problem.
The techinician you are relying on is presenting you with a typical use case. When you say “linux” there are several variants for different reasons. If you want to run a modern user interface like KDE or Gnome on a specialised version of linux for gaming that comes with a heavy install, like Bazzite, and do things like stream videos on your browser while having various internet tabs open, 2gb Ram might struggle, but it also might not.
There are specifically lightweight linux variants that you can use with user interfaces that are trying to be lighter. I can’t find the system requirements for LXqt, but some AI will say it is 512mb of ram. Either way, if you download a live ISO , put it on a flash disk and try it out (not install it) you can see how it performs in your system without losing any data or having any problems… unless you do something funky like install it or mess around with just yanking out the USB you put the ISO onto.
Here are some official sources for versions of linux that use LXQt. I have never tried it, but I have a shitty laptop with similar specs, and I run XFCE which is a similar approach, and it does fine, even when watching videos online.

The ones I have linked you to, Debian and Fedora , are mainstream, regular, basic versions of linux that should not be overbearing. There are many, many many variants that do various things to make themselves even more efficient, and you can feel free to dig further. Ubuntu might have a bit more stuff “bundled in” to make it easier for you to get familiarised with linux. What I 100% recommend is that you try them out on “Live ISO” versions first, so you can get a feel for if you are interested in proceeding or not.
If you want more information, you can check out this video that shows variations on linux on 3 levels of hardware, and action retro shows alternative operating systems on “retro” computers, which might help you choose a version.

I think it’s because it turns the concept into something so low tech and banal

because you are complaining a lot about the elected governments instead of “I got money, imma do whatever lolz” corporations, which are the ones that are explicitly made to actually fuck you over every step of the way.

OTOH, you could easily say that Kreia is unreliable, which would make this interpretation simply Kreia’s perspective, rather than KOTOR2 trying to adjust canon.
this seems to make more sense to me. I just took her ramblings as “bad guy shit” and forgot since I played it like over a decade ago.
