I have a computer like the following for making a new server.at the moment.
I have experience about Xubuntu.with one of my old computer which is 32 bit system last year.

Which Linux version would you recommend for web service among them?
Ubuntu. By far most of the tutorials out there are using that.
You might want to consider installing Virtualbox and running the second OS as a Virtual Machine. That would allow you to run both OS at the same time. Keep in mind, the VM shares resources with the host OS.
Ubuntu and Mint are certainly the best reviewed of all.

Personally I used a very stable Ubuntu 18.04 and the best feature is that it has an abundance of help when there are problems. Also detailed information for installing software which is not available in their free software packages.
As desktop I should consider Ubuntu. But as server I did chose Ubuntus “father” Debian. Smaller and less frequent updated AFAIK. Set and forget.

It is, I think, tough,
