I have an old laptop from my daughter’s college days. It’s about twelve years old. I could put Linux on it, it’s crazy slow

For sure!
In the case of Linux Mint 21, its minimum specs are:
2 GB of RAM (4 GB recommended for comfortable usage)
20 GB of disk space (100 GB recommended)
1024×768 resolution
64-bit CPU (single core) with 2 GHz speed or better
If that laptop has a 64-bit CPU, you're good to go! If it's a 32-bit one, you'll have to stick with Mint 19.3, or - preferably - look for a lighter distribution (there are several of them).
