I definitely have used multiple VMs in VirtualBox and Docker on a daily basis on my Macbook Air M1. It's a phenomenal machine.

I am aware that macOS is better than Linux with low memory conditions but I can’t imagine this, granted I have an older (2020) MacBook Pro, but I have ran out of ram and I specifically opted for the 32G one. As in: I got the infamous “your system is low on memory” dialog. All it took was teams, slack, chrome, MS word, docker (vm with default config) and 2 1G VMs invirtualbox
- Schiendelman 4y agoThe M1 machines have hardware compression on data going into memory. It goes very very far.
- tomwheeler 4y agoWait---you're using VirtualBox on a Mac with an M1 chip? I didn't think that was possible (and if it is, I'll be grateful if you can tell me how).
