I think that those numbers (20GB+2GB) are quite reasonable for the
stated purpose of "install and run successfully". I think that people
know and understand that additional resources are required for
additional things, and e.g. we don't need to tell them that they need
extra 40GB if they have 40GB of photos. People also understand that if
they have an 8 year old laptop with 2GB of RAM, it's not going to be
as much fun as a new thing. But again, they know this without us
explaining it.
For me, I think the baseline for what we should recommend is: feels
responsive when doing everyday desktop tasks. For example, browsing the web
with some medium number of tabs open on popular websites, and switching to a
video call while that's still open.
I know "feels responsive" is pretty subjective, so, maybe "switching tabs
should be < 0.1 second" (from
https://www.nngroup.com/articles/response-times-3-important-limits/).
