I've done my best to get to the closest setup in VBox, to be able to emulate some old computer. I figured out that a 1 CPU 1 thread and 8 GB of RAM, would be close to a Dual Core / Core2Duo, 2 core 2 threads or even 4 threads and 4 GB RAM DDR 3. In a previous test with 4 GB RAM, it also worked, but was visibly slower.
Watching again the performance video, I noticed that the RAM consumption went from 900 - 950 up to 1500 MB, using Chrome, OpenShot (2.6.1 AppImage), SimpleScreenRecorder, System Monitoring Center, DoubleCommander and having VLC opened, but idle. I also used a HDD instead of SSD emulation (.vdi).
The lowest level, was at about 780 - 800 MB, on idle (almost, except for System Monitoring Center). Nothing on Startup though, except for Keyboard layout applet.
What was "on the brink" was CPU load: 100% for each active application, whatever was that.
This leads me to the conclusion that LL 6.x works fine on any machine around 2010, maybe even older, but having a 64 bit CPU and 4 GB RAM.
I can test on an ASUS M200A (Celeron N2830, 2 GB onboard RAM) but it will take some time to do all required tasks.
It's kind of a netbook (12" display). I think it is a 2014 - 2015 machine. I had some LL 3.6 ... LL 4.x versions on it. The latest I had on it, I guess was LL 5.6. All worked well enough, except Chrome, that eats tons of RAM and slows down everything. Still, I never got any RAM warnings. I remember setting some 6 or 8 GB of swap so maybe this was helpful.
Now, depending on how much spare time I can put into this idea, we'll see how this works on a low resources, old machine.
Thanks for the answers!
Best regards!
