AI cooked up a not too dissimilar system specification to the real PC my Mother uses with Zorin 17 Core. A couple of differences though, she has 8GB DDR3 running at 1600MT/s and uses the integrated intel graphics with X11 because of some games running via WINE that refuse to run on Wayland, no discrete GPU necessary. storage is an old OCZ Trion 240GB SSD
it runs well but then she's not opening 50 odd browser tabs, while encoding video and typing documents in libreoffice all at once fortunately
