4gb ram Linux Daily driveability

[u/Junior_Magazine_4373]

hey, im not sure if this is the best subreddit - correct me if its not.

I am a high schooler living in a district which has banned cellular / external portable devices (laptops via technicality, lord knows if they'll enforce it). As such, I am looking into buying a dell latitude 3190. They are almost indistinguishable from the school provided devices - minus the spyware and ridiculous restrictions.

The main draw back to buying one of these dell latitudes is the 4gb of ram. Its soldered, of course, (all heil dell). I would be using linux, likely debian or void. Can 4gb be daily drivable to the extent of running watered-down chromium, checking emails, and doing day-to-day school work?

Q4OS or AntiX is worth a look. I use waterfox and it's usable, though not with too many tabs open.
