M4 efficiency is stunning. First machine I've tested getting over 5 Gflops/W with HPL, and in fact it goes beyond 6 Gflops/W... with fan only spinning up to a quiet 2500 rpm.
Maybe this is why Qualcomm abandoned their marquee Dev Kit—it is thoroughly trounced by M4.
Same. I really like Gnome's workflow. Could live with KDE and Windows (except I find Microsoft makes all their products annoying to use). But from the few days I've been using MacOS, it's just been super quirky, in a bad way.
* Make fullscreening more consistent; let the user decide whether the green button does "Entire Screen Fullscreen" or just "Fills" (keeps dock and menu bar visible); also don't hide window controls when in Entire Screen Fullscreen
* Don't force Entire Screen Fullscreen apps onto their own space
* When I close a window, don't automatically move me to a new space to focus on another window
*Fix scrolling on traditional mouse wheels
*Always show top previews in Mission Control
When you say “fix scrolling…” do you mean having the scroll direction work the same way as other OSes? If yes, the scroll direction is selectable in settings. I think you can even have the trackpad work one way and the mouse the other.
Mission Control, as far as I am aware, doesn’t have any configuration options available - I agree that would be useful to have the top previews! (3/3)
The scrolling issue is that Apple sells devices with touchpads and mouses with touchpad scrolling. MacOS is just not optimized for traditional mice with wheels that move in steps.
They seem to apply an acceleration curve to scrolling. One scroll moves a tiny amount and is jittery. You need to scroll pretty fast for it to go a decent speed.
Luckily, there's an app called Mos that addresses this. However, it seems to just be doing many scrolls each time you scroll once. This.......
.... breaks apps and games where you want one scroll to correlate to one event. For example, in Minecraft you want one scroll to move to the next item in your item list, not to skip over the next 5.
Luckily the app also lets you override things on a per app basis, but you still have to set those exceptions manually.
@geerlingguy I got my M4 Pro Mac Mini yesterday, and I have to say, I'm really impressed with it. I was already impressed with my work supplied M1 Pro Macbook Pro, but didn't expect this thing to be so much better in performance as well as efficiency.
Really enjoying this purchase.
@paul @timo Re-ran the benchmarks, and yes, it gets even better :O

@ashpole @geerlingguy @paul @timo It could probably run fine on one cable if the mini supported PoE.
(It can run on one cable when using WiFi, but that would be problematic in the fridge?)
@thesolidpixel Quite stable, though Apple seems to be okay with toasting the SoC a bit (100°C for over an hour today running some workloads).
Entirely stable but I'd rather the fan ramp up a bit more and keep it at 90°C. I manually forced it to 3000 rpm and it was only a little louder, but temps stayed between 80-90°C with all cores maxed out.
