@nixCraft in theory anything with MMU and decent amount of RAM. Not counting non mmu builds and uClinux. If we want to compare, let’s compare Linux desktop to Win Desktop.

@janantos @nixCraft Ubuntu, which is what most people would probably think about first when talking about Linux desktop, has the following recommended minimum system requirements:
- 2 GHz dual-core processor
- 4 GB RAM
- 25 GB disk space
- A GPU with at least 256 MB of VRAM

So it's pretty close to Windows, about half the disk space (and a lot less for minimal install) but no TPM2 so the range of acceptable hardware is a lot larger, and no Microsoft account.
