Macs can also make a good home server because the m chips are quite powerful relative to their power draw

We tried. Unfortunately, M chips require ARM operating systems as VMs, and they perform very poorly.

Linux servers are still the best option.

How does Asahi perform, have you tried?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 points 53 minutes ago

I have not tried it. Once I upgrade my M2 MBP (might be a while), I will.
