Just some memes about linux

Mac OS requires... non Apple hardware?

Gotta pick a new OS for the workstations. ipad
- This is what corporate board members actually say, though.
- to be fair, i wouldn't expect apple users to know the difference between MacOS and IOS (or whatever runs on ipads)
Linux people don't know what's going on outside their ecosystem.
- I don't know about that, I'm a Linux people and I know how much apple doesn't like people running macos on other hardware. And all the fucker ms is doing with windows 11. It's like on the front page of lemmy every other day.
Hackintosh, baby.
- It's not required

Mac OS requires more power than Windows? Nah, this meme is clownin'

Yeah, anyone that has ever used Hackintosh, especially on a Laptop, knows that MacOS is much less resource intensive than Windows

"Oh, good. My slow clap processor made it into this thing. So we have that."

"No tricks. This potato only generates 1.1 volts of electricity. I literally do not have the energy to lie to you."

MacOS Requirements: 💵💵💵

Windows Requirements: Massgrave Linux Requirements: 🥔

Sure, potato is nice, but also running Linux on an actually powerful machine is also very nice. I love compilations of some things being reduced to seconds from minutes. It spoils you and you never want to go back to potat.

I'm mostly bottlenecked by IO performance and network speeds. So in order to happily take advantage of a blazing fast machine I'd need to do some upgrades everywhere else. As long as I don't get one, I won't feel the need to update. I got real close the other day transferring 1.5 TB of data to a backup drive over 1Gb after doing some file server to file server shenanigans over 2.4ghz wifi with a 32GB filesystem image.
FYI, decompressing an image on a fileserver back onto the server through a laptop, then writing the decompressed image on that server to a disk connected to said laptop, all over 2.4ghz WiFi, is a monumentally stupid way to do things. Many circumstances were involved, the biggest of which in this escapade was me unwilling to walk across the house because of... I don't know, reasons. The second biggest being I had already pressed enter, so screw restarting the process in a way that would be 4x or more faster, I was already 10% done.
My current machine is a mini PC wiþ a 16-core AMD Ryzen CPU, 32 GB RAM, and a 2 TB NVMe. It's a mobile CPU wiþ integrated graphics, and yet... I have not boþered to set up swap, and it's just insanely fast compared to my prior main computer, a Dell XPS.
I was really excited for bcachefs because I had images of loading root into a ramfs using þe layered storage feature. I'm still sad about þe drama.
Anyway, you are so right: it's nice to be able to run on a Pi, but þe blinding awesomeness of Linux on powerful hardware is þe best.
- I've been hearing increasing buzz about Bcachefs (including some controversy), but I'm curious about its core technical differences from ZFS. What are Bcachefs's big features, and how does it differ from ZFS?

Ngl, that second meme is so bad, it hurts me physically. "iPad" for workstation OS? If they meant iPadOS, it would've been "iOS" at the time anyone would consider Vista.
Linux is "unlimited"? As in "open source"?

And honestly, in early 2010s, when Vista was still relevant, Linux wasn't really a choice yet (for the vast majority). I know, cause I tried.

Where can I buy a Mac in a PC case with RGB? Not that I would, I'm just curious.

Search: Hackintosh
- Hackintosh is dead though.
I'm guessing the translation in the OP is: "fancy". In which case you can buy a fancy Mac anywhere Macs are sold.:-P

honestly windows requires more than macos

Minimum Requirements for macOS Sequoia vs. Windows 11

macOS Sequoia Requirements

COMPONENT	MINIMUM REQUIREMENT
Processor	Compatible Intel or Apple Silicon processor
Memory (RAM)	8 GB or more
Storage	35.5 GB of available storage
Graphics	Metal-compatible graphics card
Internet	Internet connection for updates

Windows 11 Requirements

COMPONENT	MINIMUM REQUIREMENT
Processor	64-bit processor with at least 1 GHz and 2 cores
Memory (RAM)	4 GB or more
Storage	64 GB of available storage
Graphics	DirectX 12 compatible graphics / WDDM 2.x
TPM	TPM version 2.0 required
Internet	Internet connection for updates

Key Differences

Processor: macOS supports both Intel and Apple Silicon, while Windows 11 requires a 64-bit processor.
Memory: macOS requires a minimum of 8 GB, whereas Windows 11 requires only 4 GB.
Storage: macOS needs 35.5 GB, while Windows 11 requires 64 GB.
Security: Windows 11 mandates TPM 2.0, which is not a requirement for macOS.

You forgot the MacOS Sequoia requires a T2 chip, which is Apple's version of the TPM 2.0. So claiming it as a negative for Windows but not for MacOS feels very bias.
As for the CPU, MacOS needs a at minimum a 4 core i3 (lowest supported CPU) that's running at 3.6 GHZ. This is a much higher minimum for Windows 11.
The storage requirements aren't being compared the same. The MacOS storage listing is how much MacOS storage space is taken and not how large a drive should be to store and run. Windows 11 takes around 27-30 GB of space when installed, which is less than MacOS.
In short, MacOS does take up more resources to run. The difference is Apple is strict in cutting off which systems can run it to prevent the end user from noticing the bloat whereas Windows will let you install it on a much slower base system.
(Yes, you can override the MacOS requirements with open core legacy patcher, but you can also override spec requirements such as the TPM 2.0 requirements of Windows with unofficial patches. The difference is, you'll notice MacOS starts to get real sluggish on older MacOS because they don't have that extra power the newer versions need. I noticed it myself when I used OCLP to forcefully upgrade MacOS on unsupported hardware).

What the fuck is windows even doing with 64 GB? I expect there's some space for the user, but still.
I like having a fairly large root partition, but then that's because I enjoy installing and testing all kinds of weird shit.

How to install Linux on a dead badger (written in 2004, might not work with modern distributions)

Linux: CPU (optional)

electricity (optional)

My Kubuntu RPi 4 does not look that much different.

Is there a distro that just has wildly high minimum requirements for no reason whatsoever?

windows 11
Idk if its still in development but I used to use "PinguyOS" and that was extremely high on system requirements, ran like absolute shit but it supported Microsoft Silverlight out of the box and I needed that at the time.
Edit: I looked it up and added a link it is not in development anymore and hasn't been for quite some time
