You could do it with any Turing-complete machine. But calling something that is actively and widely used to do technical work a toy is kind of ridiculous.
OK first, way to telegraph your crusty age: it hasn’t been OSX for YEARS. macOS 10 was a long running release but we are on macOS 15 now, soon to be 16, though the name convention is switching to years instead of sequential version. If you have a machine still running OSX, yes by all means put ZorinOS or LMDE on it.
Second, I translated your comment as “I don’t know how to use it so it sux”.
@JoMiran @nginx because it’s just a toy, not intended for real use
That is just dumb. Most devs in tech I know default to Macs as their dev boxes. Macs are also the defacto workhorse for music, video production.
If you want to say that Macs don’t make for good servers, I’ll give you that, but saying they aren’t tools is just ignorant.
There used to be a mac server thing.
Guess I’ve been using a toy to administer Linux servers for the past 20 years. 🤷♂️
It’s technically possible to administer Linux servers with a Nintendo DS.
…Not sure where I was going with that, except to say that you can, in fact, do just that with an actual toy.

You’re not wrong there.
What’s considered real use in your opinion?
Hacking the matrix
@the_q linux/bsd/win10 with wsl? Of course, OSX is still useful like remote client and like dev machine for Apple devices, but not for everything else

Well that’s just objectively wrong.
You sound out of touch.
I approve. I don’t care if it’s unix based. MacOS is infantilism manifest.
