I run an M1 Macbook and SSH into my VMs. Support for M1 isn’t full as far as I can tell, which is also why I would be interested in helping as well…. > > Using FreeBSD as standard desktop is often not easy for setup (depends > on requirements), but helps greatly to understand the OS and various > quirks/issues and brings more experiences with it. So I’ve run various Linux distributions as my main desktop for a long time. At some point my workplace moved to macbooks for a variety of reasons, but essentially I install homebrew, run X, and remote into any VMs. I use Emacs + TRAMP to access files, and I’m really comfortable on the command line.
