Linux Kernel is the most powerful kernel of all time. It can handle any type of load. If you want a laptop that can handle any Linux distribution. Linux is a very lightweight Operating system . so you did not need a higher configuration to run every operating system.
Minimum System Requirement to Run Any Linux Distro
- 64-bit Intel or AMD processor (x86_64 aka x64 aka AMD64)
- 4 GB RAM
- 32 GB disk space
- legacy boot mode (UEFI not supported yet)
Minimum Requirement for Different Linux Distros.
Debian:
- Recommended system requirements are 1GHz processor, 512MB memory, 5GB hard drive.
