Considering #Apple silicon #MacBookProβs: #VMware #Fusion combined with an #external #drive is an option worth of considering for running #Linux.
By provisioning direct access (aka pass-through) to the USB device for the guest, VFS and page cache of the host OS get surpassed, and disk access is as fast as it can ever be.
The resulting hard drive is (obviously) a real bootable Linux installation, not a VM image, which can turn out to be a real life-saver some day (e.g. if laptop dies).
For #development tasks the resulting overhead compared to a #native installation should rarely be any sort of problem because #throughput is nearly identical. The resulting #latency hit matters only for soft real-time (e.g. video post-production and along the lines).
I got MBP from @NISEC_TAU, so I have had to find a solid βLinux strategyβ for it during last few days [1] :-)

It is nice to do it like this because then well-behaving plugin families do not get hit from the shittier ones :-) And bit more structuring also gives more clean way to test whether a plugin has chances work at all.
