minus-squareSupremeFuzzler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoSix years is recent enough for decent virtualization support at the CPU level, so it’ll probably run within 5 to 10% of the “native” performance you could get with Boot Camp. If you have enough RAM to give the VM a decent amount it should be fine.
