Personally I'd decide on far more than base specs of the machine, as that makes up maybe 25-30% of what matters in the decision in my opinion... ie. I'd consider the apps you'll run, your tastes as for desktop firstly... let alone your preferences for newer software, willingness to release-upgrade every 6-9 months or prefer to do that 2-3 yearly... as the cpu/RAM is only a small part of the important detail. – guiverc Mar 06 '23 at 22:18

FYI: I QA-test using a box from 2005 and it will run all; though until recently it had an nvidia card that would steer me heavily towards some choices and away from others (you didn't mention GPU!) but I replaced that video card to avoid that issue (it was kernel module related & some releases have more choice than others..) ie. you need to consider more than just what you provided; but you test it before you install & get a pretty good idea - https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-before-you-install which works with all flavors of Ubuntu too. – guiverc Mar 06 '23 at 22:21
