1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I have a Linux Mint running on a intel atom CPU with 256mb ram and no graphics card and it kinda works.

    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.

    macOS is a UNIX OS and is far better than Windows on resource management.

    Ah, I see Linux supports breadboards now!

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

    Nah sadly thats a potato custom. The generic breadboard isn't supported yet due to problems with the closed source of the chipset.

    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.

    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.
