as others have pointed out, they just use a hell lot of power, while not being reliable. Maximiliankolb: “i don’t want to be judgmental in any kind of way, but using machines slower than a new raspi3 for 30$ is probably a waste of resources itself. I even have some shit laptop with the latest Debian where I don’t even run a GUI at all and just use the terminal and tmux.”įaissaloo: “…with OSX you have a choice between incompatibility and planned obsolescence. For example, you could choose a more bare bones distribution, you could choose a very simple desktop environment (Openbox instead of Unity), etc. Upgrading to latest OSX with old hardware is definitely going to see a performance decrease but doing so with Linux it may not be the case. IBlowAtCoding: “Linux is very modular and customizable. With its profound increase in performance and efficiency, M1 delivers the biggest leap ever for the Mac.The article on FOSS Force about using old Macs to run Linux caught the attention of Linux redditors and they shared their thoughts about it: As a result, M1 delivers up to 3.5x faster CPU performance, up to 6x faster GPU performance, and up to 15x faster machine learning, all while enabling battery life up to 2x longer than previous-generation Macs. It features the world's fastest CPU core in low-power silicon, the world's best CPU performance per watt, the world's fastest integrated graphics in a personal computer, and breakthrough machine learning performance with the Apple Neural Engine.
M1 is the first personal computer chip built using cutting-edge 5-nanometer process technology and is packed with an astounding 16 billion transistors, the most Apple has ever put into a chip. As a system on a chip (SoC), M1 combines numerous powerful technologies into a single chip, and features a unified memory architecture for dramatically improved performance and efficiency.
M1 is optimized for Mac systems in which small size and power efficiency are critically important. In a press release Apple stated:Īpple today announced M1, the most powerful chip it has ever created and the first chip designed specifically for the Mac. Apple announced its new Apple silicon-based Mac lineup and the M1 chip last year, promising huge performance gains.
