Wow those min specs are pure bullshit. Sure you can run the OS - oh, did you want to do anything else with your PC? Good luck

Funny enough, I installed Win11 on a friend's HP convertible laptop today. A 2GHz i3 and 4GB RAM, and it was still entirely usable. Not powerful by any means, but a fine socials browser, YouTube viewer, and document writer. I'd have preferred to put Debian on it, but it wasn't my call, so I did as requested.

Note the spec increase in Ubuntu is partially attributed to GNOME, which is also part of just running the OS before you even open anything.
