Sure, but have you looked at the price/performance/watt ratio? Macs cost significantly more than x86 or ARM mini PCs and SBCs. And lots of the performance is gobbled up by MacOS itself. It’s not like it’s easy to install headless Asahi Linux and have everything working well.
If you buy a used M1/M2/M3 Mac that might be a good investment to use with Asahi Linux but Thunderbolt and other neat features won’t work.
Any board with an rk3588 or CIX chip should be fine.
