Mac os x vmware workstation 12 seedrv12/28/2022 ![]() ![]() ![]() I kept running into 1 huge problem though. For developing software / testing it was awesome! windows as I spent (at that time) a lot of of time in CentOS CLI. I loved the software in OSX, especially the Mind Mapping software and the ability to get a terminal I knew how to actually use vs. Warrantied out my 13" MBP for some random issue and my mother still uses it to this day for traveling. ![]() I was using my 15" MBP with some USB->DVI/VGA adapters and DP->DVI-D adapters to run 3 screens 20.1" - 30" - 20.1" and then got a new macbook air for travel, which I loved much more than the insanely painful MBP on my wrists! Those sharp edges were killer on the MBP. I still decided against buying an all in one or dumping big $$ on a mac pro and went a different route. I got enough taste and decided an OSX desktop would be awesome. There was an ever-so-slight input lag from the mouse and keyboard but it wasn't enough to prevent me from learning, and using OSX as much as possible. All I recall doing was loading up the OS in Workstation setting my options, and off I went.but that + my own OSX legal copy (by this time I think I had 2 OSX laptops 1 not in use so I had multiple licenses to use on 'in use hardware' I downloaded an OSX iso or ? (I forget which format) which was the most risky part as I wasn't 100% familiar with who'd made it.I was running some flavor of an AMD Graphics card, and as far as I knew all other components were on the 'hackintosh' list if I chose to build a baremetal OSX box I could have. I was running an Intel 3930K CPU 32GB RAM and a couple SSD so I could dedicate enough cores and SSD to OSX by itself for highest performance. Here's a run down of what/how I did to best of my remembering a couple years ago. I had a 30" Primary and 2x 30" secondary but eventually went back to 20.1"-30"-30" and decided to place OSX 100% on my right 30" display for a seamless Windows + OSX there was no "hack" that I did personally. either way I wanted to try running 100% OSX for Laptop + Desktop, and at this time I was traveling every other month or more some months so before dropping $$ on a mac desktop I wanted to try it virtualized. At the time MAC was the only one who had a kick-ass touchpad and I wanted to use that so I forget where I was on my OSX journey but I'd either just gotten my first MBP 13" or was already onto my MBP 15". I was on Windows and have only used that minus my iPads and iPhones over the years. IIRC I was on Workstation 10 when I did it. ![]()
