Running StartOS 0.3.5-1 Succesfully on a HP t530 Thin Client, AMD GX-215JC processor.
Quick and easy install, server running smoothly. Sync Bitcoin core has taken 4 days so far.
Costs:
NOTE: Just make sure to install a SATA M.2 SSD as this motherboard doesn’t allow NVMe
Thank you for the report!
I’ll add it to the list! You’ll want to max out the ram on that guy. It only has a single DDR4 slot, that can take a 16GB stick.
True, I forgot to comment that I installed it an 8GB RAM I had. Monitor showing temperature very stable and everything running fine
Hi Everyone - (borrowing @Some.dude 's excellent template)
I have StartOS v0.3.5.1 running on a 2010 MacMini as a baremetal install
| Model Name: | 2010 Mac mini |
|---|---|
| Model Identifier: | Macmini4,1 |
| Model Number: | A1347 (EMC 2364) |
| Chip: | Intel 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo |
| Memory: | 16 GB |
Windows and Android (GrapheneOS and Stock) clients connecting to services above via Tor and Brave Browsers
Thank you Start9 for allowing me to keep my old kit useful!
Other users have reported success, but then later had issues on the A1347.
Let us know if you see any difference here:

Success installing Start9 OS (v. 0.3.5.1) on old Dell Optiplex 9020 (Intel Core i5 4570, 16GB Ram, 2TB SSD). Runs great. Bitcoin Knots synced in about 22 hours.
Successfully installed StartOS on a HP_EliteDesk_800_G3_i5_Mini_65W,16G-Ram,2TB_SSD Built-in_intel_Wifi. Had no issues, very smooth install and configuration. Downloaded full block chain in just under 2 days.
successfully installed on non oled Steamdeck 512Gb internal nvme as direct replacement for steamos , touchscreen works, screen is rotated 90 degrees but displays okay , ony issue though is screen stays active all the time . I will get a lenovo Tiny and setup StartOS there and put the steamdeck back to normal but may experiment with still running StartOS on mocroSD on steamdeck afterwards
successfully installed on upgraded Mac Mini A1283 with 8GB ram and a 1TB SSD internal hard drive with a 2TB External USB Samsung HD
Heads up on the potential fail DIY list…
I tried installing latest version (0.3.5.1) on a MacBook Pro (A1706 - late 2016) and consistently hit this error:
RPC ERROR: Disk Management Error mkfs.vfat: unable to open /dev/nvme0n1p1: No such file or directory
Not sure if there is a potential workaround, but am moving on to other old hardware.
Removed the 2TB external drive and reinstalled as the old hardware could not handle the rewrites, so I’m going to do my best with the internal 1TB SSD internal drive.
This is specific to the disk and partition tables. I’d get a linux live boot running, pre-nuke and pre-format, then start over. There are other threads that talk about this.
Hi everyone, here were the steps to getting my Beelink Mini S13 N150 up and running.
I hope this helps anyone with a similar pc!

Successfully installed StartOS and syncing almost over :

SSD Samsung 870 EVO 4 TiB

Refer to my post for fixing the boot issue where it doesn’t recognize the bootloader after installation : SOS = just can't install StartOS on Optiplex 7040 - systematic "No Bootable Devices found" error - #8 by BlissHodl
Just done setup on Beelink Mini PC SER5 AMD Risen 5500U. All went very well indeed.
