    Debian running as VM on Mac M1

    Hi, I'm doing some development on linux VMs. They are currently hosted on PC machine running ProxMox and that has worked for me quite good. Now I'm starting another project that requires some more CPU and I/O power. I have plenty of that on my Mac Studio and would like to make use of it. I've...

    VM Windows NTFS Drive Compression Performance Impact

    I am using NTFS compression on my BootCamp and it gives me about 10% extra free space with no detectable performance impact. I am now thinking of using it on Parallels Win 11 VMs on M1, since my MacBook Pro 13" is stuck at 2TB. Has anybody tried this? Have you seen any performance degradation?

    Is it possible to run OS X Leopard in a partition of Big Sur?

    I need some documents from an application for The New Yorker Magazine. But it only runs in Leopard. I've never fooled w virtual installations.

    macOS Create and monitor virtual serial port

    I got a piece of code written in Python that interacts with different devices through a serial port connection. I usually run in on a Raspberry Pi (e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0 port) or PC (e.g. COM0 port). Currently, I don't have access to these devices, but need to debug the code and only got my MacBook...

    Mac mini alternatives (macOS in VM on Apple and non-Apple hardware)

    I am thinking of upgrading my old macmini-2011, but apparently Apple is not on a hurry to offer their customers an updated Mac mini model, worth considering (6th/7th generation i7 4c/8t processor, up to 32GB user-upgradeable memory, Thunderbolt 3). Naturally, I still hope that this sad...

    VMWare Fusion 8.5.8 + APFS VMs

    If you have Fusion, they just released 8.5.8 a few days ago, although it appears they are yet to publish official documentation as the release notes are blank. I just tried upgrading a Sierra VM to High Sierra with APFS as it looked like some non-English site said 8.5.8 supports it. Where as...

    Storage question with virtual drive

    I've attached these two screens of my drive storage report. Since this is a MacBook Air I'm trying to watch my storage space and it appears as though this 30gb drive is virtual inside the 15gb, which is backwards so I know I'm not looking at it right. I'm trying to see if I need the 15gb, but...
