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.
There are some that the minimum system requirements is 192mb of ram or even lower
There are some in the potatoe.
Yup, but once you do that, it’ll run Linux just fine.
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”
True
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.
Introducing the (dying) Hackintos)
I still hope to be surprised and see some madlad on youtube installing macOS on PC+copilot PCs (what a dump name, lol)
You can just call them Arm PCs.
Yea, but I was explicitly meaning those not just arm 😇 others would be too easy 😂 /s
Hackintos is installing Windows or Linux on a Mac, it is not the other way around.
It’s not impossible. Just annoyingly difficult.
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
😁macOS is even more Unix than linux (BSD kernel)
Linux is like Unix and MacOs is (a) Unix system
Sure but they pay for unix certification even though some isn’t so unix…thus they y I added.
Significantly less bloat for sure. I do like that there is the MicroWin project that exists for windows though.
I assume because apple optimize it for the hardware
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!
Be gone Windows man, BE GONE FROM ME
I use Fedora btw if that brings you peace
Fuck, I remember my windows phone now. Live tiles are better than any modern phones ui.
I would install Linux on it
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.
Have you ever tried Linux on photosynthesis?
That sounds like it runs Mint, or genetically modified SUSE.
[Children of the Omnissiah plays]
This is a triumph. I’m making a note here, “HUGE SUCCESS”.
It’s hard to over-state my satisfaction
Aperture Science, we do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us; except the ones who are dead :(
How are you holding up?
Because I am a potato
Its hard to overstate my satisfaction
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.

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.
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
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.
The actual system requirement is a TPM 2 chip for encryption (wich is bullshit and can be turned off with Rufus) for other system requirements it feels better optimized than win 10 but that might be a personal feeling.
I think macos is much less bloated than windows tho it only runs on apple devices(without trickery). Windows is absolutely horrible on resources.
Concur. I’d argue they should be flipped, even – Windows (11) needs way more in hardware in order to run fluidly AFAIK, whereas older Macbooks are supported for quite a long time
Just because it’s a desktop doesn’t mean it’s more powerful.
Mac requirement: thin metal laptop made by apple
Windows requirement: fart instruction for cpu only for 58gen bintel
Linux: motherboard (optional)
i love how the ram is connected to the potato, standing straight :) pardon my english
Yeah it’s just jabbed in end first at the scientifically most chaotic angle.
It must have been a mix-up between “component name” and “how to install”.
Yes. It was RAMmed for sure.
You need to show a better computer for windows
Its literally a surface product (yes they suck)
I really liked my surface tablet tbh
My condolences
No idea what you’re talking about tbh, everyone I talked to that owned one has been pretty happy with it.
Oh lol I thought it was a netbook
Nah its a surface book
Why?
You can run Windows 11 on 200MB of RAM, a 8GB drive, and a CPU of last decade. Check out Tiny11
I know about tiny11, but I’d assume this post is talking about stock windows
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. 🐧

Corrections:
MacOS:
- Featureless Apple™-branded oblong with 195% profit margin (support for 160% profit margin dropped in Apple™ Mac™OS™ 12.8.3.1.6.4 West Coast Yuppie Resort)
- Devices no more than two years old
- No pride, self-respect, personality, etc, except that provided by ownership of Apple™ products.
For Windows:
- CPU generation newer than an arbitrary, shifting and easily-bypassed watershed.
- 1, 2, 4, 16 or 128GB of RAM, depends who you ask.
- Windows License 😉
- Copilot+ AI requires Microsoft CoPilot+ AI compatible Microsoft CoPilot+ AI CoProcessor+ and Microsoft CoPilot+ CoProcessor+ AI Microsoft CertificAItion+
- A lack of awareness or interest in operating systems.
For Linux:
- Turing-completeness.
- Memory, networking, inputs, outputs, power (optional).
- Another computer to occasionally Google who ‘initramfs’ is and why he won’t let you boot.
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.
I does if you have a supported architecture with a MMU
