2005 phones weren't running anything close to a desktop OS. A more reasonable parallel would be the barely-released Nokia N9 from 2011 running MaemoOS. It was abandoned upon launch because the company had already agreed to go exclusively with Windows Phone OS.
With that said, I think 3GB RAM feels very low for a device running this kind of software. Even the Nokia N9 had 1GB RAM.

- Loranubi 3y agoThe iPhone SE 2 has 3GB memory and runs pretty smoothly.
- rchaud 3y agoMid-range Android phones with 3GB run fine as well. A Linux distro running on off-the-shelf mobile hardware components is a different undertaking.
