I installed Ubuntu Mate on a laptop with Core 2 Duo T2330 and 2GB of RAM. I swapped out the HD for an SSD and later added an extra 1GB of RAM.

My son used it a lot for his online classes with Microsoft Teams.

With the native client.

If you don't start anything else, you need less than 1GB of RAM.
