I have a Linux Mint running on a intel atom CPU with 256mb ram and no graphics card and it kinda works.

      I looked into running potatoless ages ago and didn’t care for the tradeoffs that come with running hamster wheel. You have to change the potatoes every so often, but at least they don’t shit everywhere.

        (Oh, I assumed pictured was a potato CPU, not potato PSU)

        Anyways, as long as you don’t make the mistake of using runny ((s)mashed) potatoes, it should be fairly ez.
