Do you think I should install Windows 10 on my Intel i5 2019 Macbook Pro? Have you ever installed Windows on Mac? How did that work out for you?

Why? Used boot camp previously but if you don't need anything windows specific then youre not missing much besides another operating system to use your resources

Works fine, I used to play on my MBP using bootcamp. Still, only reason to do so is it you have Windows specific software that you're missing

@ScribeOfGoD @CptFox Actually I have a subject this semester which requires me to use Turbo C for Graphics related work. Now the problem is that it is Windows specific. Is there an alternative (which is free) like using a virtual machine? What do you suggest would be better? I believe installing windows using bootcamp on an external drive would be better..

@devAstated I'd say a VM is probably just as good, I've never tried bootcamp on external drives, so I can't really help you with that

Depending on your specs I'd say a vm might be better

@CptFox I'm referring to a video for that from '9 to 5 Mac' channel. It's fairly easy. Just need to download an iso file and install windows on the external drive using a tool, and then mount it as the bootcamp drive on Mac.

@ScribeOfGoD I have 8GB of RAM and 256GB disk space (with around 140GB free). I have an external hard drive of 1 TB that I am thinking of using as the Bootcamp drive. Do you still recommend VM?

Wine 😘

What could you possibly want to do that a properly configured VM won’t achieve? If it’s high end gaming it doesn’t matter because the heat dissipation on a Mac is atrocious. Anything I can think of where it would be an advantage to have windows run on the metal is a scenario where it would just make sense to build a decent windows desktop.

WHY?
DON'T
DO
THIS
PLEASE
This is so weird

I did. Drivers are shit (bLuEsCrEeN), iGPU is disabled (if you have a dedicated GPU), hence battery life is shit and it's so hot that you could fry an egg on it. Also something will eventually mess up the synchronized MBR & GPT tables, though I'm not sure if that's still how bootcamp operates.

You can, but it'd be doubly cursed now.

@hashedram Just another Horcrux for the one who must not be named..

I've known a guy who dual booted windows and Ubuntu on his Macbook 😄
