Kind of heavyweight for a Pi, isn't it? 8G is the minimum for Gnome.

8GB of RAM or harddisk (SD/MMC) ?

probably you could find the answer on the net yourself too: https://www.pcgamebenchmark.com/gnom...m-requirements
You can find other sites too. Even if you could eventually launch it, you can't use it for anything

That's a game that is called Gnome.

I think what we want is the official weebsite
https://ubuntu.com/

which leads to
https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop

4 GB RAM and 25 GB of HDD space.

It is also 4 GB for Kubuntu 22.04 but I don’t recommend such little RAM.
You can run it and open a couple of weebsites with Firefox but when you open LibreOffice or something, it will start swapping.
Or maybe my problem was Qt Creator. When I started to compile a project, the system would become unresponsive due to all the swapping.

My recommendation: Buy as much RAM as the motherboard can handle.

Not sure about Ubuntu, but Gnome on rpios on a pi4 runs just fine. On a pi2 or pi3 I doubt either would run that well.

I did debootstrap and installed KDE on RPI3, and it was working but quite slow...

It would be very helpful if the original poster would supply us with a Moore precise explanation of his/her goals so that we may better assist them in tinning said goals.
