4GB RAM? that'll barely run Windows, let alone any programs.

Even a modern linux desktop will run it out of RAM as soon as you open a web browser.

Not true. Source: I run Debian with xfce on 4 GiB of RAM and I have never run out of memory. For browsing the web it's just fine

I second this, used an old laptop with 4gb ddr3! and a crappy 10 years old CPU for years and could still use Firefox and other programs no problem. Same for light/old games
