CleanMyMac was actually pretty helpful this time. Could free up ~20 GB disk space and I'm thinking about offloading Xcode compile caches to an external drive. My disk space is heavily influenced by homebrew, software caches, dependencies and files regarding software. I have 5 GB documents in my Documents/Image folder, no videos at all and no music. Images very few. But I will see, next time I do a larger upgrade (maybe December) I will go for at least 1 TB space and 16 GB memory, whatever it will be.

    I'm thinking about different scenarios right now. I could get a Raspberry Pi 5 and use it, and if I decide to switch back to macOS I could still use it as a device with GPIO pins for other stuff or for docker containers. Otherwise, a Mini PC could be potentially more powerful but then a laptop would be handy if I just want a device that I can carry into the backyard and use it there, so my MacBook could be stationary. It's a hard choice to be honest :D

    I'd like to experiment with the device first and if everything is running smoothly stay on the device or upgrade to a slightly more expensive device if it's not smooth. I'm a Mac user ever since and I have absolutely no experience with other computers (hardware).

    ** If I upgrade later on, I can still use the bought hardware as a home server, so I didn't waste money here
