In what way? For any desktop usage Ubuntu is suitable for, Pop_OS can do it.

Not the op, but I guess they meant the hardware specs of a "normal" computer.

Myself I used to buy these little Atoms with eMMC running Windows S. E.g. HP used to have good hardware in that class. Now Windows S has been discontinued and I don't see much choice in the class anymore. Maybe Acer sometimes, but I have zero experience with them.

For Chromebooks there is GalliumOS, but it looks very silent. Not sure whether it is still alive. Last supported model is from 2019.
