WIll Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS work on my Dell Vostro 14-3468 Machine?

Question

I want to install Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS. But the minimum Processor required is 2GHz while my processor shows Processor : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 3865U @ 1.80GHz, 1800 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)

I want to know if I can install Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS and if not any other alternatives?

Edit: Seeing my Processor Specification can I say It is 1.80 GHz which is less than what is required (2 GHz)

If you boot a live installation medium (DVD, USB), you will immediately see if that succeeds, so whether Ubuntu can run on your system. — vanadium, Feb 02 '22 at 10:36
Does this answer your question? How do I find out which version and derivative of Ubuntu is right for my hardware in terms of minimal system requirements? — karel, Feb 02 '22 at 10:41
I've QA-tested Ubuntu releases up to current jammy (what will be 22.04 on release in a couple of months) on machines as old as from 2005 (ie. c2d boxes) and I really don't consider the speed of the CPU that much. The RAM in my opinion matters more; and what you'll run on it (ie. will desktop match the apps you'll use; what will you have co-existing in RAM at the same time etc..). If your machine is lacking resources (as boxes from 2005 usually are), lighter desktops usually give a much better performance (eg. Lubuntu for Qt5 apps, or Xubuntu for GTK3 apps etc). — guiverc, Feb 02 '22 at 10:49
If you want to use an official Ubuntu flavor, you can try Xubuntu, Lubuntu. If you need a more lightweight operating system, try MX Linux and antiX. Note that the last two are not supported on this site, but you can ask questions about them on http://unix.stackexchange.com/ — Archisman Panigrahi, Feb 02 '22 at 11:00
