4GB ram is exactly what my laptop has, barely enough to run Win 8.1 but with Linux it loves it. Any cheap pc/laptops from now on, i gonna install Linux. In recent days i switched from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 LTSC on my main gaming rig, less bloat and more performance, love it.I bought one of those el cheapo $100 laptops with the garbage Atom like Celeron, 4GB ram (soldered non-upgradeable), and 64Gb of eMMC, Windows 11 is total dogs**t on it, Debian or Ubuntu (and likely whatever distro of your choosing) with the Mate desktop works great, although 4GB of RAM isn't the most compatible with my habit of opening like 50 tabs.
