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

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

There are some in the potatoe.
This is a triumph. I'm making a note here, "HUGE SUCCESS".
Its hard to overstate my satisfaction
How are you holding up?
Because I am a potato
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 :(
Hey guys, check out my new mobile Linux rig

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.

Missed opportunity to make trashcan joke about macos.
Trashcan Mac is good tho, as compact and quiet Linux machine it is
They’re almost down to a price where I’d consider picking one up just because I think they look awesome, and are reasonably easy to max out their spec. Trouble is, that maxed out spec might tip its benchmarks over my M2 Macbook. Might.
Xeon 2696v3 is good with it's 18 core 36 threads, this cpu cost around 45$ on AliExpress too, also top up 128gb ram and it'll be great homeserver
Out of interest, I just looked up the actual benchmark scores.
A ‘13 Pro with a Xeon 2697v2 scores 4891 on multi core
My 15” M2 MacBook Air scores 9735 on the same.
It’s astonishing how much Apple leapt ahead when the M-series chips dropped. Sure, the Intel machines on macOS still have their uses, (I’m typing this on a 2014 Mac mini that I use for work), but Apple have done an incredible job of flooding the market with solid hardware to install Linux on.
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

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.)

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.
