ACKTUALLY they're on the verge of dropping i486 support. Fucking bullshit if you ask me. Now they expect us to upgrade our computers more often than once every 40 years? Homebrewers ARE JUST NOW figuring out how to diy i486 motherboard chipsets.
Next thing you know we'll need a 3090ti just to boot into Grub.
It also has anti requirements, like not having an nvidia graphics card
Those work pretty well these days
Full Linux system requirements:
I don't know what half those things are but I laughed at the words "Breast Mints". No idea what it means.
Like titty skittles but minty
Basically Fem&ms
It's like Antiboyotics.
Also anticistamines
Forgot a requirement: must be willing to RTFM. Other than that, it's still way less requirements.
Ok, but I have to ask, are we raging against the machine that is the system we live in, or the tower on our desktop?
Even this potato with 512MB of RAM runs a bunch of linux web services without issue.
I feel old...when I was learning how to run Linux I started with an old 386 (maybe 486?) my dad wasn't using. I think it had 32MB RAM, which was fancy for those machines.
We had dial up at the time, so only one machine could be on the Internet. So, I set up a modem on the x86, plugged into an Ethernet hub (switch?), and learned enough ipchains (this was before iptables) to share a connection. It also ran Samba, an AFP server, and probably FTP and HTTP (just for local access)
but it worked for filesharing.
It could also run MP3 streaming software which amused me because the machine itself was too slow to decode MP3 (but that's not necessary to stream).
linux requirements: thigh highs and a tiny blue pill
But the tiny blue pill is so hard to get!
Do you know easy methods to get it?
Grey market or dark net markets.
How can you run Linux without electricity?
You could compile gentoo on a rock.
A, e: very, large number of crabs
Potatoes.
Lots of potatoes.
You can run it on GLaDOS using only one potato!
That's actually the source of my joke haha.
electricity (optional)
I don't think that anyone's yet booted a Linux kernel on a purely-mechanical computer yet.
If you make a redstone PC and don't consider the requirements to run Minecraft... Probably (in-world it wouldn't be using electricity)
Technically possible. How large would such a machine be though...
It wouldn't need to be super large necessarily. It could just be very very slow.
Theoretically, an immortal person with many many stones that follows instructions very clearly could "emulate" (be) a computer, right?
Since you need 16 billion crabs to run Doom, I suspect easier than you think
Ok just wait us Microsoft execs are going to pressure Trump to keep increasing tariffs on the penguins and when all of a sudden they need new suits for all the tween penguins ready to shed their adolescent coat we will see who comes out on top.
This is how you do business, penguins don't know how to do business and we won't let them have our AI so they can figure out how to either.
Trump tariffed penguins because he didn't understand what Microsoft was talking about.
He probably heard the name McDonald Island, assumed that Ronald McDonald lives there, and chose to tariff the island so Ronald will give him special access to unlimited McDoubles for free.
"I can't handle typing like this anymore" and "I like pickles" are two sentences I could make out of the blurry text
Has anyone tried getting linux to run on a mechanical computer?
The hard drive and monitor are broken, the fans are busted from experimentation with Half Life 2, but there will still always be
