I don’t immediately hate it. It’s been a while since any laptops/prebuilds shipped with less than 8 GB, and there’s distros out there far better suited to running on low power or legacy hardware.
i’m not even recommending 8gb laptops to most users anymore… especially not ones with soldered ram that are stuck with only that.
