    Snow Leopard system preferences icons for Mojave

    I’ve been trying to make Mojave look like Snow Leopard, but one thing I couldn’t find was a theme for System Preferences. So I made my own. It’s my first theming project and I decided to share it, even though I don’t think anyone will care about it, since Mojave has been out of support for a...

    Would a system be faster on a virtual machine or on a Thuderbolt external drive?

    I'm running Mojave on an iMac 2017. For some apps with no update available for Mojave I need to have Big Sur installed. Would VMWare be faster running Big Sur (if it is possible to install it there) or a thunderbolt external SSD disk with Big Sur?

I have never seen this or come across this before, so I'm wondering what thoughts people have… I have an A1278 mid-2012 MacBook Pro which has been my workhorse laptop for many years, and I still love it. It runs on Mojave with no issues. But I wanted to do some upgrades...
