It should be noted that Xubuntu 20.04 and newer doesn't support
32-bit/i386. So we might be able to utilize or reference this, or
otherwise somehow make that clear:

Thanks!

Hi Team,
Today I asked the community about the oldest PCs they are running
Xubuntu on, and the results can be seen at the links below.

Here are some of the lowest specs pulled from the links above.
Intel Celeron 462 Mhz, 512MB RAM, Came with Windows 98
Intel Celeron M 900 MHz, 1GB RAM, Came with Asus Linux
Intel Atom N270, 1GB DDR2 RAM, Came with Windows XP Home
We can also utilize minimum requirements from other distros as a
guide, like Linux Mint, Linux Lite and Drauger OS
Pentium M 1.0GHz, 1GB RAM, 8GB HDD -

1Ghz CPU, 786MB RAM, 8GB HDD -

x86 Processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB HDD -

I did a test with Xubuntu 18.04.3 installed in a VM with 1 CPU Core,
512MB RAM, 20GB HDD and 1GB Swap and it seemed to run fine for basic
tasks, though it a single core of a Intel i5 Gen 4 @ 3.6GHz.
Looking at these details, maybe we dont need to modify the minimum
specs, but likely we should mention a minimum and recommended processor.

Hi Team,
I believe that we need to update the minimum requirements page
with new minimum and recommended memory and hard disk space.
