Odd. My 2006 Mac Mini is still using the very latest version of the
operating system (Debian testing ;-).

Keeping the same machine won't improve the "fit and finish", but
upgrading to Debian will definitely improve on the "free and open where
possible". And it will save the planet a fair bit of green house gases
and pollution at the same time, so you'll get double karma points.

Indeed Apple is one of (if not *the*) most serious company in terms of
not letting their customers own "their" devices.
System76 is a joke in comparison. For that reason, I'd go with System76
any day. https://puri.sm/ is another one that doesn't take controlling
its customers seriously at all (tho they don't offer any desktop
machine yet, AFAIK).

Not sure whether that means it's a good fit for your use case.
[ And not only because I haven't watched TS4. ]
If you need something silent (and hence fanless), it's not the worst
choice and it's damn cheap.

needs to replace his own"
