this is my next OS to experiment with. However i'm worried my toy laptop with 16gb of ram (thinkpad t480) wont cut it.

Anyone want to chime in here?

I've used this as my daily driver before when my workflow needed more crossplatform operability between windows and different varieties of linux. This was a long while ago on some old 2013 laptop with 16 gigs of ram and it worked fine.

The real thing you gotta watch out for is full compatibility with all the virtualization extensions it needs in the processor. Key in that old laptop working was that it was an i7.
