Best Mac mini hardware pre-built alternative.

Hi everyone,

Originally I wanted to have a dual-boot between my current Linux Machine and MacOS, however after some research, I found my hardware would not be able to do things like virtualization(for VM and Docker) which are mandatory to my use case.

My desktop hardware is:

CPU: Ryzen 3700x

GPU: 5700XT

Moba: Asus B450-Plus

wireless card: Gigabyte GC-WB1733D-I

Based on Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide, I will not be able to use virtualization. (someone can 100% confirm that, please?)

Well, after looking at some alternatives(and the price of the current Mac mini) I start looking at some miniPC/NUCs and found some interesting ones

Option 1 - MINIS FORUM UN1265

Option 2 - NiPoGi Mini PC Intel Core

What do you all think? Would this be able to comfortably run MacOS Ventura(or Sonoma in the future) without hiccups? Or there's another widely known model of NUC/mini PC that the community uses?

Thanks all
