I have a Linux Mint running on a intel atom CPU with 256mb ram and no graphics card and it kinda works.
Mac requirement: thin metal laptop made by apple
Windows requirement: fart instruction for cpu only for 58gen bintel
Linux: motherboard (optional)
It's a not thought, but Linux reqs are getting more elitist at a much faster rate.
I hate having to discard working router gear because the fw got stale and maintainers basically say "that's, like, SO last-week" and wander off to play pogs or something
I think macOS and windows have to swapped 🤔 macyoS seems to run less bloat in background
Significantly less bloat for sure. I do like that there is the MicroWin project that exists for windows though.
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.
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.
The same thing with the desktop. They make major changes without telling a sole. Then the loyal Apple fans blame the developers.
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.)
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.
Not to dissect a meme too hard but I'm pretty sure the ram is supposed to go pins down into the potato.
Yup, but once you do that, it'll run Linux just fine.
There are some in the potatoe.
Lightweight distros need less than 1GB of RAM, so you don't need to use the entire RAM.
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"
Hey guys, check out my new mobile Linux rig
Points to gum stuck to bottom of his shoe
boots
Your username sickens me.
Hey, the Optimus 7 was great at its time!
Potato optional
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.
(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.
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.
This is a triumph. I'm making a note here, "HUGE SUCCESS".
How are you holding up?
Because I am a potato
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".
Yes. It was RAMmed for sure.
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.
