Mina the Hollower is a light installation, but each desktop platform has a different floor: DirectX 12 on Windows, Apple silicon on Mac, and glibc 2.36+ on Linux.
Mina the Hollower officially supports Windows, macOS, and Linux and asks for 4 GB RAM plus 860 MB of free storage on each. The important differences are platform-specific: Windows requires DirectX 12, the Mac build requires Apple silicon, and Linux requires a 64-bit system with glibc 2.36 or newer.
Official minimum requirements
| Platform | Operating system | Processor | Memory | Graphics | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windows | Windows 8 or later, 64-bit | Intel 4th-gen Core / AMD Bulldozer | 4 GB | Intel HD 5000, Radeon HD 7000, or Nvidia 900 series | 860 MB |
| macOS | macOS 11 or later | Apple M1 or later | 4 GB | Apple silicon graphics | 860 MB |
| Linux | 64-bit, glibc 2.36+ | Intel 4th-gen Core / AMD Bulldozer | 4 GB | Intel HD 5000, Radeon HD 7000, or Nvidia 900 series | 860 MB |
Steam does not publish a fuller recommended tier. The recommended block only repeats the 64-bit requirement on Windows and the Apple-processor requirement on Mac. Lists elsewhere that assign a higher CPU, GPU, or target frame rate are estimates, not the official recommended specification.
Two checks that matter before buying
On Windows, compare the graphics generation as well as the amount of free space. The listing requires DirectX 12 even though the named hardware is modest. On Mac, an Intel model is not an exact match: the official requirement says Apple M1 or later. On Linux, check the distribution's glibc version instead of assuming every 64-bit installation qualifies.
The 860 MB figure is the published available-space requirement, not a guarantee that updates and local saves will never need more room. Leave extra free space for downloads and patching.
