I would also suggest to use Ubuntu but maybe not the Ubuntu as it comes with the rather heavy GNOME desktop and window environment. There are other forks of Ubuntu that use L X D E and XFCE and are much more easy on resources and performance.
Lubuntu is a fork that uses L X D E/LXQT as their desktop and window environment. Xubuntu is a fork that uses XFCE as their desktop and window environment. So both of them are much better in terms of resource usage compared to Ubuntu with GNOME.
I would stay away from Kubuntu or any other Linux distribution that uses KDE as KDE is even more heavy than GNOME. Other alternatives might be MATE or Cinnamon but these might be around the area of GNOME or a bit better but mostly not as light as L X D E or XFCE.
I hardly believe you can do video editing unless you really only edit light video on it and render it somewhere else on a machine with more power. The machine barely has any power for rendering. For browsing, office and stuff such as watching Youtube or media it is ok I guess if the stuff you watch is SD or 720p. 1080p well... might do it but your screen is only HD ready so running FHD is a waste of space and resources. 2K and 4K are absolutely out of the range of this device.
