    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.

    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

    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 6 points 1 hour 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.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 17 minutes ago

    It's not impossible. Just annoyingly difficult.

    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 34 minutes ago (1 children)

    You can just call them Arm PCs.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 minutes ago

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

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

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

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 7 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 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

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

    Recent news about running Linux on intel 4004 be like

    [–] possiblylinux127 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

    You can't for many reasons

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

    Can't what?

    [–] possiblylinux127 1 points 54 minutes ago (1 children)

    You can't run Linux on a 4004

    Potato optional

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

    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 8 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.

    Have you ever tried Linux on photosynthesis?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

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