Which Linux to choose for android development on a weak PC?

Question

linux

I started to study android development, I have a computer and a very weak one:

processor: intel core i3 1005g1 2 core 4 threads, maximum frequency 3.4 hz
ram: 4 gb ddr4
hdd: 1 tb

This is sometimes not enough.
What is the best distribution to install?

Answer 1

What is missing? To fly? So this is even good for development, but on real devices it will not slow down, like those who have everything flying in the emulator.
And the distribution will not change anything here. The main consumers of resources are the IDE and the emulator.
Oh yes, also the browser in which you "began to study" and it is running all the time.
You can try to play around with the Android Studio settings (in bin/studio64.vmoptions), but this will not give a special effect, everything depends on memory.

Answer 2

Choose software easier. Chrome - just nafig. Firefox will have to cut a little. change hdd to ssd. ram if you can change to 16, or what is the maximum volume.
ps Windows often works faster, even after a good finish of Linux.
pps A computer with Avito on some ancient socket with 16GB of RAM costs less than 10k.
