Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
I haven’t double checked; but I think it was just that you couldn’t dual-boot x86 Windows; which makes sense given the chip change. I guess the same underlying chip difference means you can’t virtualise it either. But I’d imagine you can virtualise & run ARM Windows though; and as Intel/AMD fall further & further behind the efficiency curve Windows on ARM should continue to get better over time.
Indeed, you can run VMs on it, and the ARM version of Windows runs quite well under Parallels and UTM. ARM Windows also allows you to run x86 apps via emulation, and unless you’re running a very heavy application or a game, you won’t notice a difference. In fact you can even do some light gaming on the VMs (as long as it’s not a DX12 game).
