On: Linux Running on Apple M1

[bayindirh]

While Raspberry Pi may not be as powerful as an M1, I'd not discount any of these small boards.

I have a OrangePi Zero w/ 512MB RAM at home and it handles a lot of stuff (Syncthing, DNSMasq, rsync based backups and more) without a glitch.

The only thing it doesn't like to handle SFTP encryption at high speeds. Processor gets visibly strained and overheats after a 4MB/s or so.
