Hello list,Today an article [1] mentioned that the last MacMini with Intel (2018) is now considered 'vintage', and the other MacMini models are already 'obsolete' [2].
I recently tried to boot a MacMini 4.1 (from 2010) with a live image based on sid from a simulated CD-ROM device.
It boots in the 'Windows' mode, but not in the UEFI mode. The 12.10 GNOME live image boots in both modes. I haven't tried to use any of the netinst images yet. Do you think it is worth the effort to reactivate support for this hardware? With kind regards, Roland Clobus[1] https://9to5mac.com/2025/04/15/apple-says-all-mac-minis-with-intel-are-now-vintage-or-obsolete/
