Hi all,

I have some experience with Linux and generally speaking, not afraid of CLI. I have an old Intel Mac mini that is now too old to run decently supported versions for MacOs. I was wondering if it’s possible to us it as lightweight gaming machine with a Linux distro and Steam. I don’t want to use the dual boot but simply repurpose the hardware.

Has anyone tried that and has any suggestion? Thanks a lot for any input
