I got Mac Mini M2 last Saturday, wow. I love the Machine it saved my Desk. It is the base Model , with 8GB ,250 GB SSD.
I would like to share some of my experiences With M2. It is incredibly fast.
Running Windows 11 with Parallel VM
I’am using Parallels 8.0.1 , successfully configured windows 11 and installed Microsoft Visual Studio and it work without any trouble. Parallels allow me switch between Windows Apps and Mac Apps with ease and peace.
I did find some kinda of hanging and black out while the Mac went to sleep and wake from sleep.
Following Not working for me – Parallels
MSSQL Server
Docker
Above mentioned Apps can’t run on VM. So I decided to run it from Docker container which is on the Mac.
Apple Silicon and Docker
Some of the Docker Images not working with M2, it could be designed for Intel chip. So we need Rosetta for using such Docker images.
Installing Rosetta
Rosetta is referred as translater for Intel Mac Apps. You need not worry about any thing at all. Just install and move on.
