From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

First of all, 4 GB is not so bad, I ran with 4 GB on mine for years. In fact I'm still not using more than 4 GB even though I have more RAM now, it still takes 3.7 GB right now and I run 20 containers.
I don't run Nextcloud though, and I don't run VM's. VM's definitely would need more RAM, and I don't know how much Nextcloud wants. Syncthing wants very little.
Think about why do you want a GUI, they don't typically offer that much if you already know your way around Linux. And once you set up a container it will keep working indefinitely (until you upgrade it anyway, but that's another kettle of fish).
You also don't need anything fancy to put together a RAID1 out of those two disks, if that's what you mean to do.
