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.

Mac requirement: thin metal laptop made by apple

Windows requirement: fart instruction for cpu only for 58gen bintel

Linux: motherboard (optional)

I run Mint on an Acer Aspire One, 1 gig and an Atom, and it works fine. Slow and won't play videos of course but is usable for web stuff and email etc.

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.

I think macos is much less bloated than windows tho it only runs on apple devices(without trickery). Windows is absolutely horrible on resources.

I think macOS and windows have to swapped 🤔 macyoS seems to run less bloat in background

I have an atom Asus transformer with 2gb of ram that can run but not much else. Any good 32 bit distros I can look into? Realistically I think much of the mainstream web browsers are becoming too heavy also, which is what I would primarily use and might be more of my problem.

i love how the ram is connected to the potato, standing straight :) pardon my english

Mac OS should be a solid aluminum cube

I would say netbsd is more of the potato. Linux needs at least 6mb of ram to be useful.

Apple's requirements should be a pile of money, a big pile of money.

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

Potato optional

It's a not thought, but Linux reqs are getting more elitist at a much faster rate.

I hate having to discard working router gear because the fw got stale and maintainers basically say "that's, like, SO last-week" and wander off to play pogs or something

Hey guys, check out my new mobile Linux rig

Points to gum stuck to bottom of his shoe

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