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

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.

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

Nice anecdote.

Let me tell you an anecdote where I had to pay 620€ to repair the screen of one of their cheaper ipads. About the same price as a new one. Wasn’t even 3 years old.

I think macOS and windows have to swapped 🤔 macyoS seems to run less bloat in background

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.

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

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

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

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.

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