My m1 is employer provided, so I always just blame the 10 different security/management tools.

Ah, that's terrible. They just took away my Lenovo laptop with Linux to set me up with a 'platformed' Intel MacBook Pro, and CrowdStrike is eating CPU all the time. Everything not included in the system (I guess CrowdStrike is checking every executable all the time) super slow. Even doing 'exa -l --icons /' on the shell is sometimes even orders of magnitude slower than my Linux. Around 50ms in Linux, but around 300ms in macOS... I thinking about setting up everything inside a virtual machine to see if CrowdStrike controls that. It might even be faster.

  Is there good virtualization software for m1 yet? Last time I looked it was like "well there's a parallels beta..."

    Haven't worked much on it, as I have an Intel, but I'd say the best two options you have now are Lima and UTM: https://github.com/lima-vm/lima https://github.com/lima-vm/lima https://mac.getutm.app/ https://mac.getutm.app/ I checked Virtualbox this week and it's also beta/testing for M1

    Parallels running ARM Windows (and Linux obvs) is now very good. And if it is Windows you're using, then Microsoft announced (last week?) that it is now a supported platform. I've used VS2022 (ARM version) with ARM Windows 11 on an 8GB M1 Air, and it's faster than my work 10th Gen i7. Obviously if you use X86 and AMD64 stuff in that configuration it's running emulated by ARM Windows, but for most non-dev stuff I use native Mac versions anyway and Parallels gives me Windows 11 either full-screen or as seamless windowed apps. It's impressive.

  IT sent out a bunch of emails asking us to all set up crowdstrike. I decided to ignore them and see if their threat of checking up on it was fake. 6 months later and nothing. Glad I avoided this rubbish.
