Not sure what it runs natively, but I just set out to use a rpi to replace a machine I moved to another room. Just need it to run a browser and at most watch youtube videos. My rpi2 definitely wasn't up to the task, so I went to a rpi 3b and unfortunately it isn't up to the task either as the browser quickly chewed up all 1gb of ram and then used the 1gb of swap to where it came to a grinding halt even trying to open youtube. Plugged in a rpi4 with 8gb of ram and it seems to be doing the job. I have a rpi4 with 4gb, but didn't even bother trying it. Resolution didn't seem to be the issue for me, it was space, and possibly sd card speed, but I wasn't going to fiddle with it too much. The rpi4 is working good and I am typing this reply on it.
I'll probably end up upgrading but I do want to get it to at least work on the TV so I can access my pihole in this room at the very least
