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.

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 37 points 20 hours ago

A pile of money on fire

And then Apple refusing to repair it due to "water damage"

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

[-] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 87 points 22 hours ago

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

This is a triumph. I'm making a note here, "HUGE SUCCESS".

[-] Lightfire228@pawb.social 9 points 16 hours ago

How are you holding up?

Because I am a potato

It's hard to over-state my satisfaction

macOS is a UNIX OS and is far better than Windows on resource management.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 11 points 17 hours ago

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.

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago

What Apple does with iOS and macOS developers is straight up extortion.

You need to show a better computer for windows

[-] BonerMan@ani.social 8 points 19 hours ago

[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

I really liked my surface tablet tbh

[-] BonerMan@ani.social 2 points 10 hours ago
[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

No idea what you're talking about tbh, everyone I talked to that owned one has been pretty happy with it.

[-] eatham@aussie.zone 2 points 10 hours ago

As if Apple would give you all that

[-] BonerMan@ani.social 10 points 22 hours ago

No, thats why its the requirements.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 6 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

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.

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 3 points 11 hours ago

They give you the laptop underneath but at the price of ~~90~~200% the PC

FTFY

[-] BonerMan@ani.social 1 points 19 hours ago

Its just not actually running on most chipsets on purpose so you need a translation layer wich requires a pretty buff PC. It runs well on apple hardware, however its designed for each other. But from what i know it does use more CPU Power than windows, windows is more RAM intensiv than mac as of my last knowledge as well.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 0 points 8 hours ago

No idea, their laptops are silent since a long time while using i7 or even i9 CPUs. They are hella good at optimization I think.

Well, I guess I will have to install Hackintosh on my Chromebook and see XD

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 16 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

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.)

[-] BonerMan@ani.social 5 points 22 hours ago

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

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 6 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

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. 🐧

[-] lupec@lemm.ee 13 points 22 hours ago

Ah, I see Linux supports breadboards now!

[-] BonerMan@ani.social 12 points 22 hours ago

Nah sadly thats a potato custom. The generic breadboard isn't supported yet due to problems with the closed source of the chipset.

The living room PC is an old Dell that came with windows 7 and was left behind in an apartment when everybody moved out. It also runs Mint.
