I have a Linux Mint running on a intel atom CPU with 256mb ram and no graphics card and it kinda works.

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.)

Yeah but those are specifically designed for this. Linux Mint 22 isn’t designed to run with what is basically nothing nowadays.

Meh. You’re right… However… Most things will run either Doom or Linux (or both). And nobody cares whether they have been designed to do it, or not. 🐧

Not to dissect a meme too hard but I’m pretty sure the ram is supposed to go pins down into the potato.

Lightweight distros need less than 1GB of RAM, so you don’t need to use the entire RAM.

It is amazing how little you need to have a functional system. I have a OpenMediaVault / minidlna server using NAS ARM board that only has 256MB of RAM, and it isn’t using all of it, and doesn’t need to swap.

Yup, but once you do that, it’ll run Linux just fine.

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.

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.

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.

Sure, but you can’t run it on anything but Apple hardware
