The M1 can run Asahi Linux, which I imagine is going to outperform this. https://www.androidauthority.com/snapdragon-8cx-gen-3-intel-...

Exactly, this is priced very similarly to the Mac Mini with M1 (soon to be updated to use an M2) and can already run Linux fairly well.

I wouldn't say the pricing is similar. This retails at $599 with 32GB of RAM. The Mac mini is $1,199 with 16GB of RAM.

edit: Was off on pricing of the Mac mini by $100.

Mac Mini has no option for 32GB of RAM, and with 512GB of SSD storage is $899. How is that similar in price to $599?

There are two nines. Pretty similar, I'd say.

It looks like a macmini

It tries really hard. The previous one looked like a Roku.
