I have a Linux Mint running on a intel atom CPU with 256mb ram and no graphics card and it kinda works.
I think macOS and windows have to swapped 🤔 macyoS seems to run less bloat in background

Potato optional
I looked into running potatoless ages ago and didn’t care for the tradeoffs that come with running hamster wheel. You have to change the potatoes every so often, but at least they don’t shit everywhere.
(Oh, I assumed pictured was a potato CPU, not potato PSU)
Anyways, as long as you don’t make the mistake of using runny ((s)mashed) potatoes, it should be fairly ez.
Have you ever tried Linux on photosynthesis?
That sounds like it runs Mint, or genetically modified SUSE.
This is a triumph. I’m making a note here, “HUGE SUCCESS”.
Its hard to overstate my satisfaction
How are you holding up?
Because I am a potato
It’s hard to over-state my satisfaction
Aperture Science, we do what we must because we can.
Apple’s requirements should be a pile of money, a big pile of money.
A pile of money on fire
And then Apple refusing to repair it due to “water damage”
True
Missed opportunity to make trashcan joke about macos.
Trashcan Mac is good tho, as compact and quiet Linux machine it is
Not to dissect a meme too hard but I’m pretty sure the ram is supposed to go pins down into the potato.
Lightweight distros need less than 1GB of RAM, so you don’t need to use the entire RAM.
There are some in the potatoe.
You need to show a better computer for windows
Its literally a surface product (yes they suck)
Oh lol I thought it was a netbook
Nah its a surface book
I really liked my surface tablet tbh
My condolences
No idea what you’re talking about tbh, everyone I talked to that owned one has been pretty happy with it.
Hey guys, check out my new mobile Linux rig
Points to gum stuck to bottom of his shoe
boots
Your username sickens me.
Hey, the Optimus 7 was great at its time!
Be gone Windows man, BE GONE FROM ME
I use Fedora btw if that brings you peace
Fuck, I remember my windows phone now. Live tiles are better than any modern phones ui.
I would install Linux on it
As if Apple would give you all that
No, thats why its the requirements.
They give you the laptop underneath but at the price of 90% the PC, but really good looking. If you want more, throw it in the trash and buy new.
No really I dont think MacOS has big requirements, it simply doesnt officially support most PCs.

90200% the PCFTFY
Its just not actually running on most chipsets on purpose so you need a translation layer wich requires a pretty buff PC. It runs well on apple hardware, however its designed for each other. But from what i know it does use more CPU Power than windows, windows is more RAM intensiv than mac as of my last knowledge as well.
macOS is a UNIX OS and is far better than Windows on resource management.
The problem is that Apple doesn’t seem to care. They willy nilly change things and restrict basic functions with zero regard for those who want to support or develop for there platforms.
What Apple does with iOS and macOS developers is straight up extortion.
Nope, you can run winass on worse Mashines than mac, however i still think its incredibly wasteful with resources, but its both of them.
I just recently did this test on an old MacBook Pro 2011 and installed Windows 10, Pop, and macOS in succession. Windows ran like ass and Pop and macOS ran about the same (fine). Settled on Pop for better Steam compatibility. Trust me, Windows is uniquely bad.
Windows runs like ass on the Mx Chips in general.
Apple Software runs good on Apple hardware, yes its way better optimized and made for each other than the Microsoft surface products for example. Doesn’t mean Apple Software runs resource efficiently in general.
But don’t get me wrong, i hate windows more than Apple software, but thats mostly because im forced to work with windows.
The 2011 MacBooks were still Intel. Mine’s an i7.
I have Linux (OpenWRT) running on a router with 64MB RAM and 16MB of flash storage. And it works flawlessy. Also have Linux on a second WiFi router, my TV (LG WebOS), one phone, a laptop and a computer. (And I forgot about the Raspberry Pi and the VPS.)
Yeah but those are specifically designed for this. Linux Mint 22 isn’t designed to run with what is basically nothing nowadays.
Meh. You’re right… However… Most things will run either Doom or Linux (or both). And nobody cares whether they have been designed to do it, or not. 🐧

Ah, I see Linux supports breadboards now!
Nah sadly thats a potato custom. The generic breadboard isn’t supported yet due to problems with the closed source of the chipset.
The living room PC is an old Dell that came with windows 7 and was left behind in an apartment when everybody moved out. It also runs Mint.
