My Fedora box is a ten year old Dell with a 4th gen i5. I did get a little 
snappier processor on eBay and added 8 GB or RAM and a SSD but I'm not 
planning an upgrade. The only limitation is the only PCIe slot is in use 
so the SSD is SATA rather than NVMe so it boots a little slower than the 
Ryzen 7 Ubuntu box.  Considering it's been up 41 days that is not a big 
deal.
