Is a cluster set up feasible and worth it?

Hello. I recently bought 10 Mac minis from an education liquidation sale. They are the 2014 models and they run opensuse like a brand new computer. I actually bought them to sell…. But then I started thinking about what else I could do with them. Any suggestions appreciated.

What I am specifically wondering is, is there any benefit to creating a cluster computer for the home user? Or is that only beneficial for specific applications? Will opensuse work for clustering them?

If I can do something with them, I’d keep them. But also that could be a neat way to sell them, as well.

Thank you in advance for any thoughts you might have!

There are at least 2 openSUSE SDB articles around this topic:


And, there’s some basic Clustering knowledge dated 2021 in the Linux .org threads – <Linux Cluster – Basics>

Thank you for the resources!!!
