I am synching the blockchain on a rpi 4 with 4 gb ram. Sometimes monerod uses upto 3 gb ram and system basicly freezes. Is it normal? Is there any flag that I can use for db sync to be less heavy? Not using any db flags atm.

Thanks!

Yes! That is possible, check out this guide. Pruned db is smaller but it will first do a full sync and then prune it so you still need enough storage for the "peak".
