After the installation on my HP Z440 went well I decided to try Commodore OS on my old 2014 Mac Mini. I already knew Debian would work on the Mac Mini since I had it installed previously. The installation went, with about 40 minutes, much faster than on my HP Z440. Everything worked after the first re-boot: WiFi, Ethernet, Bluetooth and Audio. I did expect to experience some slow down due to the visuals of the OS but that didn't really happen. I did turn down some of the visuals because of personal preferences. All in all, the Mac Mini feels pretty snappy with Commodore OS and will make a nice small gaming system. It even could be mounted on the back of a big monitor or TV.

2014 Mac Mini specs: Intel i5 4th Gen 2.8GHZ (2 core), 8GB ram, 450GB NVME SSD Aurora Pro X2, 1TB Apple HDD, Intel Graphics 5100 1GB
