    My dad took delivery of his today, and asked me to help him set it up. I’ve inherited his M1 mini now, which I’m looking forward to finding uses for.

      I have an M3 iMac which is my main device but still have an older M1 Mini and it is still rapid! If I want to stream legally bought content on my main tv then I can just pop it in there or grab a monitor from the attic and set up a second computer for the wife.

      Runs Divinity original Sin smoothly too.

        My main is an M2 Air, so I’ll use the M1 at work so I can finally give my creaking 2014 mini the retirement it deserves. But not before I’ve given Asahi a proper airing on it to see whether I can daily drive it.

          Taking it that Asahi is a program? In the UK it’s a Japanese beer so I was momentarily confused haha!

            I’m also in the UK, so yeah…

            But yeah, it’s a Linux distro based on Fedora that’s been developed to run on M-series Mac hardware.
