Would Quicken run well on a stick computer?

Speculation, please: I'm looking for solutions for when my trusty Windows 10, un-upgradeable, computer reaches end of life. Would Quicken run well on an ALADAWN Mini PC Stick? [Specs are Windows 11 Pro,Intel Compute Stick Equipped 1TB SSD M.2 SATA 3 Storage 8GB RAM,Celeron N4020]. The idea would be to do everything but Quicken on my old computer, running Ubuntu Linux — then switch to the stick computer for finance stuff only. Further question: Would there be a security advantage to having Quicken and finance stuff isolated to the stick computer? Or maybe a new security vulnerability?

    I doubt that it would run at all on a "stick computer"

    interesting - well… looks like a full computer, with a slower Celeron CPU - but should probably run Quicken -

    Probably, but I bet the performance would be terrible.
