Some will say that if what I do now is too much for 4GB I should go for 8GB but I wonder does an ARM processor and Pi software use less RAM?

What do you say?
The Pi runs Linux same as that Ubuntu PC so the software will use the same amount of RAM, except for slight variations in the size of the text segment due to different instruction sets.

Your use case recommends the 8GB Pi 5.

Note that upgrading the RAM to 8GB in your present PC would likely cost about US$ 15.
