Actually, I am on Ubuntu Mate, on an old MacBook Pro (mid-2012) 13", and looking at Conky.

Though, I have upgraded hardware parts to 480GB SSD on SATA port, and 8 GB RAM.

Requirements are

• Web development, including the backend
• Docker
• VirtualBox, if required, for e.g. Power BI, Microsoft Office
• Biomedical informatics course, which includes Data Science and GIS

I have noticed from Conky, though; that RAM doesn't even though the 4 GB bar, but CPU (core i5, 3rd gen, 2.50 GHz, 4 virtual cores) did sometimes fill all with 100%.

However, even when not all filled, while running sudo apt upgrade, the computer did sometimes lag.

I have also noticed that Swap, which I allocated at 4 GB, is only filled by 91.5 MB.

I might have things I haven't monitored, such as

• GPU
• Current HD read / write

Currently, the most important question is, will by MacBook Pro will lag when running macOS Catalina or Window 10?

I triple-booted on an 8-years-old MacBook Pro (and OS's comparison)

macOS is just like a time bomb. It gets slower every upgrade. That's why my sis stopped using this Mac...
