    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.

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours 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.

    Mac OS should be a solid aluminum cube

    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.

    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

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

    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.

    Introducing the (dying) Hackintos)

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

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    You can just call them Arm PCs.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

    No it isn’t

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

    It's not impossible. Just annoyingly difficult.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

    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

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

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

    Recent news about running Linux on intel 4004 be like

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    You can't for many reasons

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)
    [–] [email protected] -1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    You can't run Linux on a 4004

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 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.
