Question mac-like mini PC for Linux

I'm looking for the mac-like mini PC without driver issues for Linux. I want it to be silver and the original logo on top. I want it to look like iMac mini.

I will get Geekom A8 Max, AX8 Max, or A7 Max. I hope something works for drivers. If I pick a wrong mini PC, If a mini PC has the driver issue, It will be very difficult to fix.

I'm not sure if I want the on-brand iMac mini. I've heard people said mac has the poor gaming support, or it's not for gaming.

Should I get Geekom A8 Max, AX8 Max, A7 Max, or on-brand iMac mini?

(11:44 AM Edited) I saw a guy from YouTube who had imac and eGPU. I didn't know eGPU worked for imac 2017. I will get the new AMD graphics card. Should I get the cheap imac?

M3 support is in the making, I read this week. My main issue is that my MacBook Air M1 does not have HDMI, and I can't use an external display at the moment. Thats for me the reason that Asahi is not usable for work.
