I got the same laptop back in 2016 from a friend and I can't say that I agree. It's unbearably slow. I ran Ubuntu and a CLI most of the time with a browser and that was the absolute max you could do with it before locking totally up. A decade is a really long time for a laptop of you plan on run anything modern on it. I assume you'll have to because id you're developing with older Java versions and SDKs you're just leaving youeswlf open for a world of hurt.

Stock Ubuntu desktop is pretty resource intensive with a lot of graphical effects that will struggle on older machines. There are plenty of lightweight distros out there that cut down such bloat and run easily with 4G of memory.

This is my current machine and I run mint on it . It’s unbearably slow and would reboot if you do cpu intensive task like running chrome , burp suite and something else
