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

Potato optional
[Children of the Omnissiah plays]
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.
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.
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 :(
You need to show a better computer for windows
Its literally a surface product (yes they suck)
Oh lol I thought it was a netbook
Nah its a surface book
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.

Apple's requirements should be a pile of money, a big pile of money.
True
A pile of money on fire
And then Apple refusing to repair it due to "water damage"
