RAM??? Let use GDrive as swap

ITT:

I prefer to put my swap partition on CD-RW.

Yeah, never had a problem with incompatible hardware on Linux.

No siree, not a once!

That fucking wolfs face never fails to make me laugh

Not true. For modern Linux you need a processor with a memory controller and 8mb of ram. If also need to be a processor from the 21 century.

Would it be possible to forgo ram for just swap?

Btw. If you disable the Intel ME, TPM is nonfunctional.

Yay!

optional CPU?

i remember when i could run windows 3.1 on a potato

A processor and ram is merely "recommended specs"

You can use windows 11 without TPM. It's just not made easy for casual users.

I know this is linuxmemes and that this will be an unpopular opinion, but a lot of the complaints about windows I see linux users make, are based on a lack of knowledge. Sure, MS doesn't make it particularly easy, but linux isn't always particularly easy to install or get working well for casual users either. Whether it's linux or windows, a quick google goes a long way to solving most issues.

I'm behind the idea of GNU, but it's weird how so many linux memes could easily be turned into equally ill informed pro-MS memes. Obviously, MS isn't a nice company and I don't think anyone's a genuine MS fanboy, but still.
