A distro for 12 year old laptops
AntiX is definitely going to be the fastest of the recommendations here. I have it on a Core Duo with 2G Ram and I am really a very big fan of that distro. It is all there, sometimes it takes a bit of time to get use to its quirks, but it is worth powering through. You have the option of three lightweight window managers and then there are two file managers that are used to give you some desktop functionality. Take some time to learn which one of those options you like the best. Here is a screenshot of my setup after fiddling with it a bit. For a lighter weight text editor/IDE check out Geany.

CLion vs VSCode in 2023 for C++
Another FAST editor -- they call it a mini IDE -- for C++ and a bunch of other languages is Geany https://www.geany.org/
- It's the 9th anniversary of Geany not fixing C function highlighting. Join me in appreciating the utter state of FOSS. πππ

Bash script help
I did copy-paste your fenced code into an editor (geany). Some of the indentations use tabulators, other explicit spaces. I recommend to stick either with one, or the other. Note, good editors allow you to use the tabulator key and -- on the fly the editor inserts (an adjustable number of) explicit spaces into the source code. In case of geany, this is available from the GUI via Edit -> Preferences, then Editor -> Indentation. Get in touch with your peers/colleagues, and adjust this accordingly (e.g., 2, 3, 4 spaces per tabulator key/indentation level; frequently either 2, or 4). Once if you all agree on a format in common, exchange, maintenance and collaboration (think e.g., GitLab/GitBucket/GitHub) is going to be considerably easier. (No, I don't know if there is bash code reformatter as e.g., fprettify for Fortran, yapf/black for Python [where indentation actually is functional], or rubocop for Ruby.)
