Looks like a Cybertruck
You do not need a case and discrete GPU. Way above minimum requirements! :)
This is what happens to your computer if you allow Rust in the kernel. /s
To be fair Its lifetime had ended, so rust took the ownership.
Linux System Requirements:
- Computer (optional)
I’ve seen Linux kernels powering eletrical instalations control monitors. I’d risk we can say that if it runs on electric impulses, it can run Linux.
When will EVs be jailbroken?
Car infotainment systems already run on Linux. Tesla famously use Ubuntu.
The entire car. Not the infotainement alone.
You likely know this, but you really, really, really, really do not want stuff like your airbag controller to run a preemptive task switching operating system.
systemctl enable --now systemd-airbagd
I revived a friend’s old laptop by installing Linux on it, and I told her that using Linux entitled her to a small amount of “nerd creds”. Years later, she told me that it did end up eliciting mild approval from a woman who ended up being her partner for multiple years. The system works!
anyone else felt the impending finger slice in that photo? case looks pissed and out for flesh.
The PC will not boot without a blood sacrifice. This one is just extra thirsty.
There are people out there powering their PC with electricity … what a bunch of environmentally unfriendly weirdos.
I just top up my BSU (blood supply unit) daily and it purrs (in Latin) like a charm.
Yes, this one has tasted blood before. You can tell by the way that it is.
War makes you unrecognizable, buddy.
I didn’t think rust was required
Rust has been a part of the kernel since 6.8.
You guys run a motherboard? Im just running 2 diodes and a vacuum tube to manually type in all the 1s and 0s that make up the linux kernel /j
That’s nothing, I have a group of ravens who fly around in strict RISC-V formations, giving me shiny bits from time to time all part of the ramdisk boot sequence
I just use butterflies
I love this comment
BirdFS is a pretty efficient file system, in the sense that it retrieves items from an infinite disk that you didn’t even know you wanted. The read speed is several times a day, and the write speed I’m still currently waiting on a metric there
Linux is between the requirements of a raspberry pi pico and a raspberry pi zero I would say
Although some crazy person did get Linux running on an esp32 once
There is a number of crabs that can run linux
Needs some work on the cable management but no other notes, 5/7 build.
I think you’ll find that’s the recommended spec, not the minimum requirements.
Indeed, I see a gfx card in there, and cables.
I installed Tiny Core Linux on an old ass netbook laptop on which even Windows 7 kinda lagged. Went CLI only, no DE and made the laptop thousand times more usable. I’ve basically repurposed that laptop as an external hard drive for things I don’t need backed up but good to have a backup of.
Very funny, but I actually used to own a computer that didn’t meet the minimum requirements for Linux.
(Not my pic, but the same model.)
#if _FP_W_TYPE_SIZE < 32 #error "Here's a nickel kid. Go buy yourself a real computer." #endifLOL!
That isn’t the same limitation I was thinking of, though.
I wasn’t confident which requirement you were missing, but I love that error
I was under the impression that the main impediment to running Linux on a 286 was the lack of an MMU. I might be wrong about that, though.
We are Tandy buddies!
Still looking for an original monitor.
I’m sad that my parents eventually forced me to get rid of it. At least I kept the keyboard, though.
I used to have one of those! Well before I ever knew about Linux, but it was great fun making little stuff in BASIC and playing with actually floppy disks.
What was it, the ENIAC?
Linux doesn’t run on anything below a 386 because it requires a MMU.
(Some people have made forks that can run on 286s etc., but those changes have never been part of the mainline kernel.)
You can if you emulate a CPU that does have an MMU. Someone has actually done this to get Linux booting on an Intel 4004. Another one got Linux to boot on a Commodore 64.
What can I run on a Transmeta Crusoe?
386 support was dropped years ago.
They tried running Linux on their ENIAC, but someone accidentally tipped over one of the crates of punch cards which has unfortunately set the project back a few months.
What we had that couldn’t: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PS/2_Model_30
Work was getting rid of them so my dad bought it. Great machine, learned a ton.
I literally LOL’ed. Just wanted to say that
Some nails and coal are pretty enough.
