I’ve been using a 2014 MacMini as a daily driver for about 4 years now. (My other is a 2015 12: Retina MacBook) Both are currently running macOS 14.5 (via OCLP) the Mini acts as my Plex media server, while my MacBook is what I use for “gathering media files”. While there are occasional hiccups running an officially unsupported OS, they have been working surprisingly well. Wondering if I can still use macOS 15 when OCLP gets updated. When I get an M-series Mac, I’ll switch one of these two over to Linux (probably elementaryOS) as a test to see if they can continue operating in those capacities with the new OS.
Thanks. I’m thinking about getting a mini for a file and media server. I’m surprised that you’re daily driving a 12 inch tho. Hope u can get any m chip MacBook. They’re the best laptops I’ve ever had
Sounds like I have the same MacMini. I am using mine as a printer server, LOL! I upgraded the SSD to a 500gb. Going to add a NVME adapter and put a 128gb SSD and transfer the system to that,. Then I will upgrade the other internal SSD to a 2TB and use also as a media server.
My laptop is an M1 and it's plenty powerful for what I use it for. The heaviest task it does is edit and upload TH-cam videos for my small YT page. Once it starts, I just go do something else for 15 or so mins, LOL!
What is Ram on it? You did not inform people it can be inserted with a second nvme as well using a cheap adapter. Lastly, one can install latest Sonoma Os using opencore.
I was plaaning to get one of those. It has the same spec as yours. I wanna know if how it performs on daily tasks like surfing the web. Using Xcode and listening to apple music at the same time.
We shall see!😊
@@TechTrendtracker.242 I’m actually waiting for mine. I hope it won’t run too slow. 😅
@@nelxcix Hope you like it! I have actually returned mine, since it would not do what I wanted. A video coming soon on that!
