recently I read the message that it is possible to run on Mac mini (as I
understand, old x86 mac mini)
I had 2 spare mac mini and one of them could be used for such an experiments.
Is it possible to run Scuplt of last version on x86 unibody mac mini?
if yes - any build/setup instruction?
Can I use bt keyboard/mouse or I should use wired usb ones?
which one better to use for experiments (from compatibility point of view -
while I prefer to use older one):
