This review feels a little underdone to me. I feel I should agree with all his points, but there's something about it. Maybe its the way he doesn't put comparison numbers for other systems in his benchmark numbers table. Or maybe it's because he doesn't mention why linux isn't working (is it locked down, or too new?) Or perhaps its because the value-prop for these systems is laptops with long battery life, not dev systems.
I will agree that the fan is too loud and that Windows 11 seems to suck (I don't use it much, mostly linux here).
By the way a Mac Mini with 32GB of RAM is $1699, not the hypothetical $1200-$1400 he estimates, but you get a M2 Pro, which is a better processor. So this system is cheap for the RAM you get.

If you were really up for it you might be able to cobble enough together at this point to patch up and build a kernel that could run, but I am not certain how much more if any is needed. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-msm/patch/20240911073337.90577-3-quic_sibis@quicinc.com/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-msm/patch/202...
