You could, but why would you want too? You can install Zorin on virtual box on any computer/cheap hardware. No need to spend money on a perfectly good hardware/OS combo like this.

What's the use case for 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
99.9% of users won't saturate a 1 Gigabit Ethernet port.
Mostly if you're working off a NAS, ie video editing.

I love my Mac Mini aside from it only having 256GB of storage. If you plan on gaming (lol) I suggest buying a 40Gbps nvme external and putting it on that. Still, it's an amazing value and lightning fast. I'm currently in the market for a good deal on a 27" 120hz 4K display.

All the mac deals sucks unless the memory is 512GB or over. 256 is useless
512 GB Memory you say... 🤔

Here you go… but I have to ask. What stopped you from just Googling that exact question? It's the 1st page 🤦🏼 ♂️

Transferring large amounts of data between computers in your house. If you do a lot of digital photography or video, it's very worth it, especially if you're going with that tiny 256 GB drive.

The other good deal at micro center is the Mac mini m4 pro at $1199 if you need 24gb of RAM and 512GB SSD. This is cheaper than the apple EDU price.
$200 off the 1399 MSRP

For those curious about if the base model can do real world 4K video editing, this is an excellent video that pushes the base model to its limits.

They pay little to no worldwide taxes in general. And they're one of the largest, most profitable companies in the world. Yet nobody seems to care about their tax dodging schemes. Imagine how much good those many billions of tax dollars could do.
