Can a Cheap Mac Mini Out-Pi a Raspberry Pi 4? (2021x6)

Air date: Feb 07, 2021

Now that the Mac Yak PowerPC Challenge is over, it's time to take our community Minecraft server off of the loud and power-hungry PowerMac G5 tower and on to a machine that's a little more reasonable. Is a 12 year old 2ghz Mac Mini up for the challenge? Or, is a new Raspberry Pi 4 actually a stronger computer now? Let's install Debian Linux on these two machines, pit them head-to-head with some benchmarks, and transplant our server into a new home!
