Old s****y 2004 laptop, Intel core, weak, virus filled. I want to completely wipe the drive and upgrade to Ubuntu. I do not have any data I want to save, this computer was a hand me down that's been stashed in the drawer for almost a year. Not planning on anything heavier than internet browsing.

I have a gaming setup as well so I'm not worried if this fails, it's just a side project to take up spare time.

Also, doesn't Ubuntu have an install option which allows you to completely wipe the drive and install? Because if so that's what I want to do.

Lubuntu should work well, it's a low ram version of Ubuntu that works well with older hardware. And yes the installer will let you do a full disk install, which means it wipes anything that is already on the disk.
