I have Ubuntu 14.04 as the other Linux on my computer. although technically out of date, Canonical offers free extended support for it, for home machines. Anyway, I have the same problem with it that you have (returning from suspend). I'm sure it's related to the old on-board video graphics. So I don't use suspend with that operating system. Not a big deal.
Linux Lite 3 and Ubuntu 14 are the only operating systems that will work on this computer, and still have support. LL3 is good until next April; U14 until 2022. I'm actually amazed that Ubuntu 14 works on this system, but I guess it still was light enough back then. now it's become a very different animal with Gnome 3.
I think it's great to keep your old machines going. Too many people throw therm away after a few years, bad for all kinds of reasons. and with Linux Lite, you can have a perfectly functioning older computer. No better choice for old machines.
