Kiddo’s 2017 MacBook Air struggling under the load.

Strong suspicion I could swap out for , do better with and most everything else, and not do much worse at macOS-specific stuff like and Messages under (https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM).

Anyone done this, or something similar?

    @schmonz ooh! I have a 2017 iMac that is quite long in the tooth. This might be a good idea for it, too.

      @schmonz The kvm for osx doesn't support the gpu. macOS uses gpu acceleration for basic ui, this makes anything beyond ssh'ing into the vm for programming tasks a horrible experience. If you need Messages and GarageBand it won't end well.

        @korreckj328@mastodon.social hmm, I thought I saw GPU passthrough possibilities.

          @schmonz Last I checked, and it's been a while since I have, gpu passthru required 2 gpus and a board that supports passthru.

            @korreckj328@mastodon.social woof. I may still give it a whirl but with more sensible expectations (thanks!)
