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
