macOS 26 Tahoe will be the last version of macOS for Intel powered Apple Macintosh computers.

Intel Macs make fabulous Linux machines! If you have an Intel Mac, there's options. All is not lost.

Between the excellent build quality and the fantastic displays I'd even suggest that Macs are a superior, non-obvious choice for picking up a used machine for experimenting with Linux. I've used Minis for Linux containerization nodes in the home lab in the past as well.

Be careful though, make sure the hardware spec matches the price. Lots of uninformed (delusional?) Mac zealots out there think their 5-10 year old Mac is worth way more than the hardware spec would imply. Paying a 5-10% premium for the better build quality on an iMac or lappie in the used market is worth it in my opinion. For the Mini, not so much.

*Caveats apply on a case by case basis*
