I've come into a 2018 Intel Mac Mini, its got an i7 and I've upgraded it to 32gb of RAM. I feel pretty constrained on MacOS as I mostly just game. How function are eGPUs under Linux? I'm pretty comfortable on Linux, its what I use on desktop daily. But I've never tried anything with external graphics on it. Xorg seems like it could be a mess with config files, is Wayland any better?

    No experience with egu on them. But they are phenomenal linux boxes. Ive got 5 running my homelab with those exact specs. Stick an ssd in there and golden. Its a bot of a pita but not hard.

    Otherwise (i do this on one of them) boot off an external thunderbolt ssd

      Nice, I’ve also thought of installing PFsense on it and using it as my home router. But that seems like kind of waste of its potential. It’s perfectly sized for that purpose though.
