      I would recommend dual booting/switching to linux and running android via linux.

      Memory is probably your biggest bottle neck here so setting up a bit of extra swap for Linux will be worthwhile until you can upgrade

      That is what you will run on it, yes, what are you looking to do with it?

          VMs with desktop Linux or Android are technically possible but you won’t enjoy the performance. Better dual-boot with those specs.

          Alright, just a heads up with the specs you posted, you may be rather disappointed with the performance of the VM.

          Do you have any budget for computer hardware?

            I’d start my learning journey with what l have in hand.

            Right now, l’ve just installed a WSL. I’ve installed fish and zsh. I would have loved to install MX Linux, but l better stick with Ubuntu for the time being. My next step would be setting up vs code, and starting off my journey with git.
