I have a Linux Mint running on a intel atom CPU with 256mb ram and no graphics card and it kinda works.
This is a triumph. I’m making a note here, “HUGE SUCCESS”.
Missed opportunity to make trashcan joke about macos.
You need to show a better computer for windows
Its literally a surface product (yes they suck)
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
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.
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.
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.
Hey guys, check out my new mobile Linux rig
Points to gum stuck to bottom of his shoe

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.
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.
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.
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. 🐧

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.
