I have a Linux Mint running on a intel atom CPU with 256mb ram and no graphics card and it kinda works.
I would say netbsd is more of the potato. Linux needs at least 6mb of ram to be useful.

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".
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.

Significantly less bloat for sure. I do like that there is the MicroWin project that exists for windows though.
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
Recent news about running Linux on intel 4004 be like
You can't for many reasons
Can't what?
Isn't a 4004 a 4-bit ALU?

Holy dissertation, Batman!
Google en passant
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]
Not to dissect a meme too hard but I'm pretty sure the ram is supposed to go pins down into the potato.
Yup, but once you do that, it'll run Linux just fine.
