Why would I want to run a utility app for Samsung earbuds on my Mac? Or the Dunkin’ Donuts app? It’d be nice to use my favorite guitar tuner app, Fender Tune, but it doesn’t recognize any sound input since there’s no internal mic on the mini. But a lot of what’s available just… doesn’t make sense. Some developers are likely holding off so they can polish their mobile apps to behave better on macOS. And many developers have opted out, meaning you won’t find mainstay apps like Gmail, Instagram (though Facebook is listed), Netflix, TikTok, and countless others. But even some that lack that warning - like Tumblr - totally crash when opened. Many of these will say that they haven’t been verified for Mac. For me, a top line QNAP can't compete with the mini & storage, & i certainly have zero experience of anything windows, but as always YMMV.If you head to the “purchased” area of the Mac App Store, you’ll now find a tab for iPhone and iPad apps. If it gets sluggish (which I can't imagine) you just update the mini & if a hard drive dies, I just update the array. I'd always go down the road of using a mac mini as although the initial outlay is expensive for what it is, it's one less thing to go wrong - sure I could get a qnap or synology, but the chips in there aren't as powerful & although the mini has HDMI, I prefer the interface on TV. One look at the Plex forums would give the answer they're seeking & there's loads other posts on here talking about what people use - NAS vs mac (mini's are also mentioned as HTPCs) vs windows vs pi vs nvidia & so on. I'm not exactly sure what the OP's question is. Plex still runs under Rosetta it's not M1 native yet, so whilst it's no doubt better at what it does than my 2012 (& loads of other competing options), I'm holding until either it's native or apple bring out the mini pro (hopefully both come at the same time for a full fresh install & rebuild of my libraries) Click to expand.I'd commented earlier that I was waiting for the new mac mini, that advice still stands, so that's my recommendation.
