Well, I'm eager to use it. For my home server I use an old power-hungry Epyc 7B13. It's overkill but it can run a lot of things (my blog, other software I use, my family's various pre-configured MCPs we use in Custom GPTs, rudimentary bioinformatics). The truth though is that I hate having to cross-compile from my M1 Mac to the x86_64 server. I would much rather just do an ARM to ARM platform cross-compile (way easier to do and much faster on the Orbstack container platform).
So I went out looking for an ARM-based server of equivalent strength to a Mac Mini that I could find and there's really not that much out there. There's the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite which is in only really one actual buyable thing (The Lenovo Ideacentre) and some vaporware Geekom or something product. But this thing doesn't have very good Linux support (it's built for ARM Windows apparently) and it's much costlier than some Apple Silicon running Asahi Linux.
So I'm eventually going to end up with some M1 Ultra Studio or an M4 Mini running Asahi Linux, which seems like such a complete inversion of the days when people would make Hackintoshes.
