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.

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

True
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.

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

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.
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.

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

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.
