I have been living under a rock lately. Is this the new homelab meta, building a k8s cluster of mini PCs?

Honestly I have no clue why you'd need a cluster at home either. But I guess it's fun to tinker? A raspberry pi cluster would be cheaper though and have the same result.

The fact Pi prices have been so high is what has driven everyone down the mini pc route. Cheaper, more expandable and more performant.

Cheaper*

* If you live in a cheap used tech market area

Not if you have to run x86 software
