I recently came into a Macbook Pro, 18 GB of Ram, 1TB of storage. Its the only Mac thing I own. Its a real shame I have no idea what to do with this and it is just sitting there. I want to use it for something, but I dont know what. My homelab already has a huge host with a threadripper in it (which also fell into my hands), a pi-hole on a low end pi, and an old PC that runs a Minecraft server just fine. Any suggestions for what to do with this bad boy? I’m not afraid of any OS, all are welcome here. I tend to mostly host media and game servers, I do not have any home automation yet.

Edit: thank you everyone for the suggestions. I love this community <3

    You think this would run Project Ozone 3 better? I dont think anything will with that modpack as is but my current host has to be reset daily or it crashes.

      Some mod packs are just unstable.

      Could be a specific area/item crashing it, and TBH all modded servers need regular maintenance like mob culling and regular server restarts. But it could also be a problem with your host, yeah, and the M3 Pro is going to be way faster than any CPU your host has. Plenty of RAM too.

      I’d recommend running it with GraalVM EE as your JVM.

      I tend to gravitate towards Enigmatica and ATM myself (as their devs/dev process is pretty good), but not sure about Ozone or skyblock mod packs.
