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

    DM me, while it won’t be this laptop, I have a few others I got from work before they had a proper recycle program that still work fine. Nothing fancy but I couldn’t let my former boss toss them.

        No problem! Technology should be used, most of what is thrown away isnt even close to done. We can and should do better.
