A Mac can last, and be very usable, for a very long time in my experience. I put a new SSD and fresh thermal paste in my 2011 mini over Christmas time when the SSDs were on crazy sale prices, it runs Ubuntu desktop and HQPlayer without breaking a sweat, and probably will for a very long time.

Very true! I just installed Linux Mint on an old, one of the first generation Mac Book Air, and installed Roon on top of that. It works like charm, quiet, and reliably! This is just truly outstanding Apple quality!

 

Roon under Linux is fun!
