I have a Linux Mint running on a intel atom CPU with 256mb ram and no graphics card and it kinda works.
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”
It’s funny people still think this, they just replaced nearly my entire M1 MacBook Pro that was completely fucked because of water damage. Literally everything but the display was replaced, I basically have a new computer at the cost of $300+whatever I paid for AppleCare+ when I bought it ($400, I think?), which is significantly cheaper than buying a new one would have been
macOS is a UNIX OS and is far better than Windows on resource management.
Nope, you can run winass on worse Mashines than mac, however i still think its incredibly wasteful with resources, but its both of them.
I just recently did this test on an old MacBook Pro 2011 and installed Windows 10, Pop, and macOS in succession. Windows ran like ass and Pop and macOS ran about the same (fine). Settled on Pop for better Steam compatibility. Trust me, Windows is uniquely bad.
Windows runs like ass on the Mx Chips in general.
Apple Software runs good on Apple hardware, yes its way better optimized and made for each other than the Microsoft surface products for example. Doesn’t mean Apple Software runs resource efficiently in general.
But don’t get me wrong, i hate windows more than Apple software, but thats mostly because im forced to work with windows.
The problem is that Apple doesn’t seem to care. They willy nilly change things and restrict basic functions with zero regard for those who want to support or develop for there platforms.
Missed opportunity to make trashcan joke about macos.
They’re almost down to a price where I’d consider picking one up just because I think they look awesome, and are reasonably easy to max out their spec. Trouble is, that maxed out spec might tip its benchmarks over my M2 Macbook. Might.
Xeon 2696v3 is good with it’s 18 core 36 threads, this cpu cost around 45$ on AliExpress too, also top up 128gb ram and it’ll be great homeserver
You need to show a better computer for windows
This is a triumph. I’m making a note here, “HUGE SUCCESS”.
