Kiddo’s 2017 MacBook Air struggling under the load.

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

Anyone done this, or something similar?

@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.

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