    OK, but oppose to Windows, you can run Ubuntu 24 until 2029. I don’t think many will use a 4 GB notebook (as a notebook and not as a Debian server) beyond that time.

      I’m using my 2016 Chromebook with 2GB until it literally dies. (Sucker has 16+ hours of battery life. Pretty nice, actually!)

        Ubuntu (at least the default wm) runs like shit on rpi. I use Ubuntu everywhere but for small machines I typically find something specific for it.

          Sure, but my point was more they still currently sell devices with less than 4GB of RAM so it seems reasonable to foresee people still using them in 2 1/2 years.
