Well, it is okay if you manage your expectation on what to use, and how other specs you have.

But one thing is for sure unless you know the software you are using is not gonna eat your RAM, then you can use them simultaneously, but other than that, get used to opening one software at a time.

ouch. pure 32-bit system might help it a bit, but you might have issues with some modern applications.

While 4GB is fine for an OS like Linux, it hits the limits pretty fast as soon as applications like web browsers come into play.

not the os, there are still many 32bit programs, they do not require a 32bit os
win64 can still run them

How does 4GB mem feel in 2024? The exact same way as it did in 2010 if one is still running Windows 7 and earlier.

4GB might be fine for IOS, but a desktop PC? No way man.
