Can confirm - I use a Mac Mini with a Core2Duo as my main server to run DNS blocking, motion cameras, home automation, etc. It's great - my idle load is using less than 20W and its cool and quiet. It no longer runs new versions of MacOS, but it's been running debian for years now with ZERO problems. My only cost of ownership was replacing the ancient 5400RPM spinning disk as a preventative measure.

That and electricity, yearly it's 175 kWh vs 20 kWh for a PI, so about 45 USD extra at least this year. May go down one order of a magnitude next year. (the prices are the absolute max I could find for electricity in my area in a year)
