There's just about no OS now available that will run on hardware that old and with such limitations, at least not one that's secure enough to use online. It's best simply retired and recycled.

The issue is that most no longer run on a 32-bit CPU and most need more RAM than this system can accommodate.

If you're still reading this, 32-bit Lubuntu 18.04.5 i386 works fine on the Mini 910 in 2025. With Firefox or Chromium installed you can do most things. While it is slow, and some websites don't work well these days, many of them do work just fine. We have two of these little guys still going -- one as a dedicated word processor and one for educational games for a kiddo.
