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

Missed opportunity to make trashcan joke about macos.

Trashcan Mac is good tho, as compact and quiet Linux machine it is

They’re almost down to a price where I’d consider picking one up just because I think they look awesome, and are reasonably easy to max out their spec. Trouble is, that maxed out spec might tip its benchmarks over my M2 Macbook. Might.

Xeon 2696v3 is good with it's 18 core 36 threads, this cpu cost around 45$ on AliExpress too, also top up 128gb ram and it'll be great homeserver

Out of interest, I just looked up the actual benchmark scores.

A ‘13 Pro with a Xeon 2697v2 scores 4891 on multi core

My 15” M2 MacBook Air scores 9735 on the same.

It’s astonishing how much Apple leapt ahead when the M-series chips dropped. Sure, the Intel machines on macOS still have their uses, (I’m typing this on a 2014 Mac mini that I use for work), but Apple have done an incredible job of flooding the market with solid hardware to install Linux on.
