because hardware meant to do entirely different things as designed. just get an apu.

cuz you are unable to do so

AFAIK, no GPU can function as a PCIe root complex, so you'd have a hard time accessing meaningful storage or IO without an attached host.

Even if you could squeeze a bootloader, kernel, etc. on the tiny local ROM, you'd still have a system that was complete shit at general computation though.

Why can't I just hold on to a motorboat engine and go water skiing?

Okay what about an operating system that uses the GPU as much as possible for everything?

this kills the gpu

Just load a RAMFS onto the thing and don't reboot
Single threaded applications would kill it before you could manage that, though.

CPU FAGS BTFO. HOW WILL THEY EVER RECOVER.

it's not a general purpose computer, it's not turing complete
