I was eyeing the MNT for a while, but I wasn’t sold on the CPU performance for the price. What’s your thoughts on the specs? Also considering a t480, although the price of SSDs/RAM are concerning me right now, although maybe it’s not as bad for older/slower used parts.

This is how I handle my server, I have an older Mac Mini with a SSD and 16GB of RAM running Proxmox. I’ve got a Debian VM for Docker stuff (all pretty lightweight containers right now), a VM with Debian for a remote VS Code environment and LXC’s for Plex and PiHole. I also wanted to learn about NixOS, so I fired up a VM and installed it to test it out. I will say, I want to learn more NixOS… that’s not an easy or simple solution! Awesome OS and I love the concept, but you really have to be dedicated to learn the syntax and maintain it!
