How solid does it run? Is it able to make use of all what is currently making the Mac Studio so interesting for LLMs? And does it handle all the power management as it should? These are honest questions, as I'm in the need of a new workstation and eying a Mac Studio even if I have never used any Apple products before (with the exception for the iPods).

You can also just run macOS and use Tart, Docker, or UDM and run VMs/containers for your services. Asahi isn't bad either, but for some people it's a bit more hassle to set it up and maintain versus macOS.

If it for a server you can just probably run it on a VM which would provide a better experience?
