Anyone running a Mac Mini/Studio as a server at home? Been thinking of coping one for /quil-mining and future projects but running full macOS in the background feels kinda wasteful compared to a lean Debian or Ubuntu build. I’m having trouble deciding if that sweet Apple Silicon is worth it in the long run.

I have been doing this since the release of the M1 Ultra studio. Highly recommend it. I use it mostly as a remote backend for my IDE on MacBook Air and iPad, and I definitely don’t see its OS using up much of my resources ever.

I used iMac 27' in old time and then replaced by Apple M1 mini. Still use iMac for repository or main Redis server. Has multiple VPS as slave servers and iMac as main server. Just bought mac studio and plan to add M1 mini into homelab. Apple silicon should have less power consumption.

Not worth the investment, but fine if that's all you got. Hard practical things are managing boot and virtualization issues, and changing system settings. Generally, I have become convinced that if you cannot control BIOS settings it is not worth it as a server (includes all kinds of other ARM devices as well).
