I have a Linux Mint running on a intel atom CPU with 256mb ram and no graphics card and it kinda works.

I would say netbsd is more of the potato. Linux needs at least 6mb of ram to be useful.

i love how the ram is connected to the potato, standing straight :) pardon my english

Yeah it's just jabbed in end first at the scientifically most chaotic angle.

[-] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

It must have been a mix-up between "component name" and "how to install".

I think macOS and windows have to swapped 🤔 macyoS seems to run less bloat in background

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 41 minutes ago

Nah, the MacOS just has the wrong picture.

It should be a specifically branded laptop, because as far as I know, it is impossible to run MacOS on anything other than an Apple branded computer.

[-] RGB@lemmy.today 2 points 4 hours ago

Significantly less bloat for sure. I do like that there is the MicroWin project that exists for windows though.

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 hours ago

Yeah ddinitely needs image swap, or this meme would make more semse if it said $ instead of requirements. MacOS is unixy and doesn't require super specs

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 6 points 5 hours ago

😁macOS is even more Unix than linux (BSD kernel)

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

Linux is like Unix and MacOs is (a) Unix system

Recent news about running Linux on intel 4004 be like

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 13 minutes ago

You can't for many reasons

[-] bruhduh@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

Can't what?

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 38 points 14 hours ago

Potato optional

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago

(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.

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Have you ever tried Linux on photosynthesis?

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 7 hours ago

That sounds like it runs Mint, or genetically modified SUSE.

Apple's requirements should be a pile of money, a big pile of money.

Not to dissect a meme too hard but I'm pretty sure the ram is supposed to go pins down into the potato.

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago

Yup, but once you do that, it'll run Linux just fine.
