Microsoft's midrange Surface Laptop offering with 16GB RAM now starts at $1,499 for business customers, forcing the company to bring back an 8GB configuration.
4 GB works decent on Linux. I have been using an old laptop with 4 GB RAM since the HP folks said it would take them 20 days to repair my primary laptop.
I installed cachyos on it and yeah it works fine for web browsing, office work and all.

Installed an SSD and Linux Mint XFCE in a old notebook (2012) with 4GB of RAM and works like a charm
Done 60FPS gaming on a laptop with less than 4GB of RAM before too.
Can confirm. Not very good, but it’s pretty usable once you remember it’s limited and keep your browser tabs to some sane amount.
On helium browser, I can get around 10 tabs without lagging. Though I am not a tab hoarder and usually have less than 5 tabs so its fine.
Tab hoarder, a nice word. Gonna steal it. I’m neither, so when I was working on a 4 GB Linux system, I didn’t notice most of the time.
