Sorry to hear.

Hope you can get a new Pi. Supply situation is still difficult.

I moved to OrangePi5 running Ubuntu. Setup is easy to do as well.

Umbrel provides the install command line for linux on its website.

8gb is enough unless you were using more on your Pi already. Using 2gb running btc node and lightning wallet. My Pi uses 4.5gb with much more Apps.

Ubuntu OS needs about 700mb-1gb of RAM.

You can run it either as the Pi on SD card with external drive or OrangePi provides a Pcie connector.
