Changing Distro based on hardware specs

I get: USB SSD is Seagate Backup Slim Plus 1.82TiB (it won’t connect to my system)
Host is Asus K43SJ with 7.4GiB RAMs, 12GiB swaps, i3-2330 dual cores
Distro is Artix OpenRC, graphical shell is KDE Plasma 5.17.4

Should I switch to another distro, and try again?
