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 is much less bloated than windows tho it only runs on apple devices(without trickery). Windows is absolutely horrible on resources.

[-] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 2 points 46 minutes ago

Isn’t it windows 11 that is making a ton of hardware irrelevant due to extremely high system requirements? This meme is missing the mark.

[-] BonerMan@ani.social 1 points 33 minutes ago

The actual system requirement is a TPM 2 chip for encryption (wich is bullshit and can be turned off with Rufus) for other system requirements it feels better optimized than win 10 but that might be a personal feeling.

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 4 hours ago

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

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 41 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 hours 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.

[-] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

It's not impossible. Just annoyingly difficult.

Introducing the (dying) Hackintos)

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 45 minutes ago

Hackintos is installing Windows or Linux on a Mac, it is not the other way around.

[-] lostinfog@reddthat.com 1 points 5 minutes ago

No it isn’t

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

I still hope to be surprised and see some madlad on youtube installing macOS on PC+copilot PCs (what a dump name, lol)

[-] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

You can just call them Arm PCs.

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Yea, but I was explicitly meaning those not just arm 😇 others would be too easy 😂 /s

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 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 7 hours ago

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

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

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

[-] RGB@lemmy.today 2 points 6 hours ago

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

[-] bruhduh@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Recent news about running Linux on intel 4004 be like

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 39 points 16 hours ago

Potato optional

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 11 points 10 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 9 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 9 hours ago

Have you ever tried Linux on photosynthesis?
