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.

    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.
