🧵 The entire stupid idea of running #macOS #Monterey in #VirtualBox on #Linux comes from the sad fact that #DanteController by #Audinate keeps crashing in #Windows10 in Virtualbox.

It used to work, but then #Microsoft did some updates to Windows 10 (sic!) and since then it just crashes when it talks to #Dante devices on the network. I dug up an old version of Dante Controller, because I thought it was a problem with the recent version that is targeted to Windows11, but eventually this didn't help.

So, I will see if Dante Controller crashes in Monterey/Virtualbox, too.

The current Blackmagic Switchers app doesn't (yet) run on Monterey, apparently. But it runs in Windows 10.

Oh it's the crazy Linuxer again, nobody in #EventTech would use Linux anyways, blablabla, heard all of it.

But all of this is because software manufacturers don't provide Linux versions for tools that internally use Java or QT, both platform-independent.

Fun fact: Old #QLab (macOS only, no Windows) does work.

Accidentally took this photo of my laptop during tech rehearsal yesterday. Cool angle, so I'm sharing it.

Looks like I was in the midst of modifying phone SFX.

Anyone have good success running #macOS inside a #vm on non-apple hardware?

It's upgrade time for a PC at the theatre, which *has* to be a mac to support the industry standard show player #QLab.

I really do not want to give apple a penny and will overspend on an AMD based solution if need be.

Gimme some good news, fedi!

people, please. stop saving your active show files in dropbox, icloud, and especially google drive. keep copies there, sure, but the actual files you’re using for the show should be in local, non-synced storage only! #sound #QLab #theater
