Hello,
I currently use some sort of "smart TV" as a family computer and it's a horrible experience. I want to replace it with a proper computer, and I've been looking into a Rasberry Pi. The computer would really only be used for web browsing (YouTube, Netflix, Spotify...) and watching downloaded movies. My question is, with a sufficiently minimal setup (thinking even going with Gentoo), would a Pi 3B or 3B+ (1GB RAM, 4 core BCM2837 at 1,2 and 1,4 GHz respectively) be enough or should I pay up and get the Pi 4?
