Is it possible to run Windows on an M1 Mac?
Is it possible to run Windows on an M1 Mac?
It's built from scratch. It's a genuine Linux distribution inside a container. I don't know what you think is problematic, but that's not true at all. In fact, it's advantageous because you can access Linux files across different file systems, allowing Windows applications to open them or run commands on the Windows filesystem using the Linux CLI.
WSL operates as a virtual machine. Distributions run inside containers. Mistakes can happen if you push too hard. The problems you mentioned were early challenges in WSL1 and are no longer major issues in WSL2. I rely on this setup regularly for my work.
I don’t have any references for that. The discussion seems to mix concepts—Hyper-V container, WSL2 architecture, and Mac performance considerations. For accurate details, you might want to refer to Microsoft’s official documentation or the WSL2 release notes.
Some universities offer IT bachelor programs with a special emphasis on web and mobile app development.
Im from Norway and no, Universitys do not directly give courses in these exact subjects. Its a different type of institution in Norway thats not really comparable to College, but not either comparable to University. Its kind of lodged between the two, and is very common here because University in Norway are usually theory and not practice based, atleast moreso. Theyre common for people getting Bachelors degrees and Masters degrees in specific subjects like Economics and whatnot.
So ive talked to my guidance councelor and he did not specify which software will be used exactly because he said theres "alot of it". Which i feel like is a poor reply but whatever... He said that the only software that is required to have MacOS for is IOS programming, but that other courses may require MacOS based on the individual teachers pick of software. And considering bootcamp is not a thing with Mac anymore i might have to get both machines wont i?
I attempted to analyze the situation carefully, considering scenarios where an x86 laptop would be essential—like computer architecture courses or projects involving FPGA tools that only run on x86 Windows and Linux. Reviewing your syllabus could provide useful insights. Another possibility is a class requiring Visual Studio, which is a full IDE rather than VSCode. Overall, it seems you likely won’t need two machines for this workload.
If my understanding is right, the person being discussed likely won't require FPGA. Most similar institutions don't go that far as universities do. I've never heard such schools offer genuine degrees like bachelor's or master's. They seem more like trade programs. Still, I'm unsure about the curriculum, but I'd be concerned about using a Windows system when it becomes necessary. If they do, I'm confident the school can handle it. At least universities always had hardware available, letting students use their own virtual drives with credentials. Personal systems were an option, not mandatory.
I looked into your question. Schools in Norway aren’t just trade schools; they also exist there. After completing 10 years of compulsory education, you can choose between "Specialized Studies" or "Trade School." Trade schools don’t provide bachelor’s degrees, so you must opt for "Specialized Studies" to qualify for university or a "Høyskole" – which is similar to a U.S. college. Both paths require an additional three years after the initial 10 years, after which you can apply for a university degree. These institutions offer bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD programs in their respective fields. Most Norwegians don’t go to traditional universities; instead, they attend "Høyskole" colleges, with the top choice being the one focused on economics – the "Norwegian School of Economics."
