Interesting take on comparability vs performance. I gotta imaging capturing user data and sending to a cloud collector is also a big culprit.

I have an ancient early W7-era AMD dual core (bulldozer based? So it’s actually like 1.5c) that runs just peachy on Lubuntu LTS, 8gb of mismatched used Ram I got for free, and an ancient slow HDD.

I use it for D&D (Roll20 and Foundry) and MTG (Cockatrice).

I tested W10 with a ReadyBoost sd card and 2gb RAM and it barely worked.
