Dear users and developers,
I would like to know, if is it possible to use Debian Mate on mini
PC with 8 GB of RAM if I will not use external monitor connected to
provided HDMI output connector.
It depends on the specific machine, unfortunately.
I've had a mini-PC that refused to boot without an attached display. It
had a VGA port and it was possible to build a dummy VGA attachment that
fooled the machine into thinking a display was attached. I don't know
how feasible building something like that is for HDMI.
I hope that this kind of misfeature is relatively rare.
