If it was above board to download and run MacOS in VMWare as a guest under my linux host (slowdowns because of arc differences forgiven), I'd be way more willing dip a toe into the ecosystem and see how I like it...
- lode 5y agoAside from going into an Apple store, probably the cheapest way to try out the M1 Macs is to rent one from Scaleway (€0,10/hour + tax, minimum 24h - https://www.scaleway.com/en/hello-m1/ https://www.scaleway.com/en/hello-m1/ ).

- schaefer 5y agoYes, I really am curious. And NO, your assumptions about what I would do if I really was curious aren't correct. I had a mac book pro around 2011 (OS X snow leopard). half a dozen happy years with it until it was stolen. But these days since Apple is forbidding running MaxOS under virtualization, that's a deal breaker for me.
