While it's possible to use a t4g.nano instance with Linux for basic tasks, there are some important considerations for your specific use case:
-
T4g instances use ARM-based AWS Graviton2 processors, which may have compatibility issues with some software, including certain browsers.
-
The t4g.nano is the smallest instance in the T4g family, with very limited resources (2 vCPUs and 0.5 GiB of memory). This may not be sufficient for running a graphical environment and watching videos smoothly.
-
By default, most Linux AMIs for EC2 don't come with a graphical user interface (GUI) pre-installed, as they're typically used for server applications.
-
There aren't specific AMIs designed for graphic design or browser usage on t4g instances. Most AMIs are minimal installations to keep the instance size small.
-
Installing and running Tor browser on a t4g.nano instance might be challenging due to the ARM architecture and limited resources.
If you still want to proceed with a t4g.nano instance, you would need to:
- Choose an ARM64-compatible Linux AMI.
- Manually install a lightweight desktop environment and necessary graphics libraries.
- Install an ARM-compatible version of a web browser (Tor browser may not be directly compatible).
However, this setup may not provide a smooth experience for watching videos or performing marketing tests due to the instance's limited resources. For your intended use case, a larger instance with more resources and x86 architecture might be more suitable, although I understand you specifically asked about t4g.nano.
Your English is understandable, and there's no need to apologize. I hope this information helps clarify the limitations and potential challenges of using a t4g.nano instance for your specific needs.
