Hard drive: (Optional)
CPU: (Optional)
I've seen that meme, but is the CPU actually optional?
Technically it’s required, but I saw an article where someone was able to install a form of Linux into a machine that didn’t have one!
Alas, my cursory searches are unable to pull it up right now. I feel like DDG is getting worse, it used to actually be pretty dope…
Doesn't DDG essentially act as a middle man between google? So if google search gets worse so too does DDG.
Bing, not Google
Is it this?

All systems copy the kernel into RAM before running. It needs something to store the kernel/OS when it's off so some kind of non-volatile storage like hard disk/usb disk is needed
