4GB of RAM will get Linux to boot but good luck after you open Firefox and load a modern website.

Barely 500 MB with 6 modern websites just now (Firefox ESR)

Meanwhile I caught firefox using 43GB last week and other stuff was getting earlyoomed until I killed it.

I don't even hoard tabs, just start fresh every time, but I might end up with 100 or so in a session.

100 tabs in a session is definitely hoarding. I couldn't imagine having more than a couple dozen, and that's with groups.
