Wow,.. well who would have imagined that ??,..  ::)  ;D

Kubuntu distro's are a version of Ubuntu, (which is Very popular) and is based on Debian a historically Stable and reliable distribution  :)

Does your Mac Mini have an Intel CPU or a later Arm M1 or M2 CPU ??
If it is one with an Intel CPU (which being a 2011 model it probably is), the Linux MINT might be a great option.
Linux Mint on Mac Mini

ZorinOS is also very good and would work happily on the Mac Mini I'd venture  :)

Wow thanks for the suggestions  ;) !

You know I may have to make a correction to my statement: after researching I think I actually have a 2010 Mac mini; the reason is for the disk player. The models I've seen in 2011 don't appear to have the disk player so from that I believe it is more 2010 ish. But from what I reaserched it does have an Intel CPU; and apparently is compacted with a Nividia graphics card (the last thing I'd expect in a apple product LOL). Now I haven't checked the specs on my Mahcine yet but considering it had 4gb pre-installed ram I'm guessing it was from 2010.

Well, that sounds like it should work very well with Most linux variants that can run on a Mac Mini.

A distro' like Zorin is very Resource friendly and can (with appropriate choice of desktop manager - like XFCE etc) can run effectively on older hardware with limited ram etc  :)

Apologies btw to the OP for going completely OFF Topic of the 'Off Topic',..  ;)  ;D

I was thinking the same Stoo! The OP was probably just doing this to market their products and then a month later I had to reply.

It's funny how a post named "Off-Topic" can become itself. Coincidence? It went from me ranting on AI to talking about Linux. Guess that's what happened when you name a post "off-topic" lol.

Are you suggesting that I make movie costumes? Or, TV shows? That could be interesting.

Nuclear disaster. Chernobel has some strange biological things happening there. Or, mad scientists hiding their evil creations under as nuclear disaster. Don't see it other places.

Well a TV show about tailors dressing radioactive mutants would sure be interesting now thinking about it. Wonder how that would play out...

Freaky wild beast. You really want to catch some and make clothes for them? It would fit right in with some of the TV shows of today. It would probably be profitable.

The problem with AI is that it is not human. Humans have passions. So often passion is why we buy. Economics is about passions that buy. AI is just a machine. Imitating us is not the real thing. Human nostalgia, for example, how can it create that? Fashions are about something that becomes Cool quickly. Fun to talk about. Fun to wear. AI is not human. The heart decides.
