Same, but it does a pretty shitty job at everything I throw at it as a result. Might pick up a refurbished m1 Mac mini and put asahi on it. They are relatively cheap these days.

    I have one of these things, though a slightly older model.

    Beelink Mini S12 Pro Mini PC, 12th Gen Intel-N100 (4C/4T, Up to 3.4GHz), 16GB RAM DDR4 500GB PCle SSD, Mini Desktop Computer 4K@60Hz, Dual Display, WiFi6, BT5.2, USB3.2, LAN, Low Power https://a.co/d/dxxV7yK

    I got something similar - it takes a little bit of elbow grease to get Linux running well on it due to the very new chipset (just the wifi/BT drivers though so if you only plan to hardwire, no issues)

    Really ridiculously low power draw too.

    I got a similar fanless PC that has an n305 processor, USB 3.2 and two m.2 slots. I'm trying to figure out how to use it as a nas for at least two 14tb drives + virtualization server, Plex server, arrs, home assistant, etc.

    Do you use any drives connected to your beelink? I'm thinking about getting a DAS but they look kind of pricey and I've read horror stories about USB drives disconnecting. Seems like USB 3.2 speeds might help with that tho?

    I am just a novice by comparison to many around here - aside from the built in 500GB I just have a single 5TB Seagate drive plugged in to USB. It holds all my Plex content and my photo backups. Haven't had any issues with USB disconnects so far!

    Note: I ask this from a place of complete ignorance, having never owned a machine with Apple silicon…this is just for my own curiosity. With that said:

    Is it better to put something like Asahi on there than to leave it MacOS? Obviously, if we could have fully-featured and fully-optimized Linux running on the M1, that would be ideal, but I worry that a port like this would be pretty janky for a quite a long time while they reverse engineer everything

    You can run most docker applications on the m1 on macOS just fine. I use it for anything a rpi would do and more.

    That’s kind of what I figured. I’m willing to bet that (at least for the moment) containerized Linux on M1 MacOS will run much better than integrated Linux on a half-finished port

    I have an m1 MacBook Air, and I can say that asahi runs very well these days. It’s definitely not done yet but it’s useable and much much better than macOS for server applications. They have a gpu driver now and everything base-Linux runs flawlessly ime. MacOS is still needed for updating firmware etc, however I would feel completely comfortable using asahi on it as using macOS for such things is a hassle. Docker and podman are just imperfect and not fun to use ime.
