I can also confirm, that no high-performance PC is required, to run Thetis:
I am using an HP Elitebook 840G5 with an i5-8350U, which came out 2017.
Running only Thetis on it with a sample rate of 48kHz creates a CPU load of approx. 20%. When I am using FT8, JTDX is running in parallel to Thetis, which results in a total CPU load of approx. 50%.
I have also N100 and N95 based mini PCs, which have the same performance and run Thetis easily.
In addition I am running a very low cost Wyse 5070 Thin Client, that I bought on eBay. I am running that with Debian. The Wyse 5070 has only an Intel Celeron J4105 processor but runs Quisk + JTDX together very well.
