Two points: 1) It's surprisingly easy to get the Hurd running in a virtual machine with kvm: $ uname -a GNU hurd 0.9 GNU-Mach 1.8+git20240714-up-amd64/Hurd-0.9 x86_64 GNU 2) I own two Mac mini's, which are sitting in a drawer. They were made from notebook equipment, and they are crap. One of them came with 4GB of RAM, and ran like a dog. Thankfully, I could add more (notebook) RAM, bringing it up to 16GB. Then it ran acceptably, probably because it was caching the slow, slow drive it came with. So we have a Mac Studio now, which is a low-end UNIX workstation. They aren't cheap, with a price on the order of magnitude of what I paid for my Linux workstation. Eyeballing the results, it looks like it renders Fooocus images about 1/4 the speed of my Linux workstation. I thought it would be a lot faster, but I guess pytorch doesn't support hw acceleration yet -- or the hardware on the Mac is no match for an RTX 3090ti w/24G of memory. You can say what you want, but I'd much rather use my Thelio than the Mac Studio. YMMV. -- -v System76 Thelio Mega v1.1 x86_64 NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti OS: Linux 6.11.10 Release: Mint 21.3 Mem: 258G "Mary had a little RAM -- only about a MEG or so."
