That kinda stuff runs well in a VM. Not too GPU dependent, so you generally get very-near-native performance. The only problem I end up having is constantly blowing away my VMs, racking up too many new installs, and running afoul of key limits.
- fullstop 6y agoHave you seen qubes os? [1] Obviously this would not work on OS X, but the concept is fascinating and definitely a different and unique approach at security and isolation. 1. https://www.qubes-os.org/ https://www.qubes-os.org/
- VistaBrokeMyPC 6y agoQubes is great but be careful... I tried giving a specific usb port to a windows vm to play games with a joystick and accidentally gave all of my USB inputs to it, effectively locking myself out of dom0. Oops.

- pkulak 6y agoThat looks really fun, thank you. I'm going to check this out.. maybe in a VM :D. I really like these kinds of projects. NixOS and Fedora Silverblue are a couple others.
- WrtCdEvrydy 6y agoQubes isn't designed to run in a VM, but it can.
- jzer0cool 6y agoI wanted to try running in a VM and actually have not considered believing bad performance. How is performance degradation - is it very very noticeable?
- pkulak 6y agoWith the virtualization primitives in modern CPUs it's like 95%+ of native. GPUs are a total lost cause though, so you won't be playing games (unless you do GPU passthrough).
- blibble 6y agoif you set the VM UUID + keep the MACs of the NICs the same it usually bypasses key limits
