I have so many CP/M programs my grandfather wrote in my garage. Never got to see them run but it’s cool to see people are still messing around with the OS in some capacity.
I haven’t noticed any problems for the use case I’m using it for.
I’m giving it 8GB of ram and 6 cores/12 threads. VM is running on pcie ssd. Speed is good.
No gpu is in my server so it’s using a basic VNC connection. If you add a gpu and pass it through the desktop experience would be much better. However I only needed to do this to do initial setup.
The cool thing about my setup is that it uses a docker container called macinabox which handles the initial Vm configuration and macOS installation, estuary automating the “hackintosh” process.
I have a Monterey VM running on my home server inside Unraid with virtualization. I can login to Apple developer accounts. I use this as a macOS gitlab runner VM.
Adobe products were not written to take full advantage of high thread counts not GPU bound tasks. This is why their products run much better on Intel chips because they have higher single core speeds.
Would this only be a problem if they vest in non-uniform quantities? At the company (Shopify) I work for they vest in even amounts over 4 years but you have to wait 1 year to get 1/4 of them then every quarter after that.
An app store, watch face store, dictation, weather. those features are the reason it requires a server. That's what you give up by not using rebble or similar services.
I do shoot film exclusively though. At the lab I buy my film and get it developed, they do sell homemade film. I've seen some fantastic results from the B&W film community members make.
I'm also in the middle of building a dark room in my basement.
FYI I use either Android pay or debit to buy my film
