Maybe Intel should boot using the embedded x86 in the chipset when the CPU dies in 13th/14th gen. CPU optional.

My thinly-veiled lack of understanding of Linux is in shambles. CPU optional?

The joke is that the system requirements for Linux can be effectively nothing, but of course, some sort of processor is required. It’s hyperbole.

I think it’s also relevant with Windows 10 nearing the end of support, meaning a lot of devices that “can’t run windows 11” are “heading to the landfills” (according to some news articles)

Fact: If it can run Win10, it can run Win11.

Those limitations imposed by MS can be circumvented with Rufus.

I’ve successfully installed Win11 on a Core2Quad with 2GB of RAM… on a spinning drive.

It’s a joke… Probably.

I don’t have a confirmed case of Linux running without a traditional CPU, but I wouldn’t bet $20.00 against it existing

There’s plenty of devices out there that do some kind of computation and don’t have anything we would recognize at a traditional CPU. Such devices are becoming rare, because CPUs are so dang cheap, now.

Most of those run binary compiled from custom C code or even directly from Assembly.

But, if someone was going to run an alternative program on one of those devices, there’s a very good chance they would install Linux (heavily customized) on it first.

Source: I’ve completed parts of Linux from Scratch. It was eye opening to realize the places that a true Linux expert could get it to run. Every single part of Linux is truly optional, to someone who knows that they’re doing.

You could probably run Linux on a binary abacus. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bbinary_Abacus_002.jpg

And it’s still only good enough to come in 2nd place (the guy on the right got the Silver)

TwiddleTwaddle ,

They both got silver if I’m not mistaken

4gb RAM

Windows 11

Yeah ok, have fun with that.

If torture methods existed for computers, this would be one of them
