Rosetta 2 is key feature for the transition to Apple silicon, and is also available to run Intel x86_64 binaries in virtual macOS and Linux (in Ventura).
Apple silicon
Now feature-complete with support for shared folders with the host Mac, and everything is in place for Rosetta 2 translation of x86_64 binaries within the VM.
Now fully supports shared folders, on Ventura hosts running Ventura in a VM. This gives access to faster storage, and to iCloud Drive as well.
Writing to the Data volume in a VM is dismally slow. Is using shared storage any quicker? What happens when you copy a VM to an external SSD, or to another Mac?
On Intel Macs, key combinations determine startup modes and more, but they have no effect on Apple silicon Macs. And how to deal with keyboard problems when logging in.
With Unified memory, don’t you simply add the main and graphics memory sizes from your Intel Mac to determine how much your Apple silicon Mac needs?
Some threads are set to run in the background, and get allocated to the E cores. Could you run them in a VM, and effectively promote them to run on P cores instead?
Nearly 6 months ago, many thought the M2 Pro and Max would come in Macs in the autumn of this year. So why hasn’t Apple released them yet?
How can you set up a single external bootable disk to start up two different Apple silicon Macs, maybe one in the office and the other at home?
Overall summary of a year’s testing external hard disks and SSDs ranging in cost from $50 to more than $200 per TB. Which is best?
