If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • Depends on the OS. They can be chopped down by removing windows aero / transparency features among some other memory hogs, plus if it has an nvme or sata SSD then virtual memory can do some fast enough heavy lifting. That being said, I think the last OS Microsoft made that could run functionally on 4gb without significant virtual memory useage is Windows 8 and I wouldn’t wish that experience on you, nor recommend it for security reasons. If you use Linux you probably won’t need to upgrade for a long while with that easy workload.

    My pi 5 acts like a normal decent computer on Linux builds but windows would crunch it.

    Edit just to say that the main task you need to worry about is likely decoding. If whatever APU or GPU you have doesn’t have a built in ASIC for modern hvec then I could see it lagging significantly regardless of OS and memory size. You also mentioned browsing, which means I wouldn’t recommend staying with the last MacOS you can get for security concerns. Linux seems like the obvious choice.
