I have been running my C-Net Amiga BBS on AmiBerry for a month now, and except for one CTD, it has been very stable..

Not sure if it is any slower or faster that WinUAE, but running on Apple Silicone it definately is sipping less power!

Guess it is time for me to build a new VM and install AmiBerry on it. I tried it out a few months back running DietPI and then AmiBerry on top of that. Maybe this time around I will try something like Debian Server and toss AmiBerry on top of it...

"Common" is a relative term. In 48 years of computing, never heard of it, but 'tanks.

LOL. Thank you for making me feel old!

I was going to comment, that 48 years of computing... "Desktop" is a relatively new term (Thinking 82 or so with Commodore's MagicDesk).. However it was Xerox who coined the metephore with the ALTO in the 70s.

The one feature of AmiBery that can not be enabled on Apple Silicone is JIT (Just In Time Compiler). I would like to see if possibly installing an ARM version of Linux and running the AmiBerry Linux Version would allow me to enable it, and what the speed difference would be. I did not have JIT enabled on the Windows version, but I am thinking it may have been a tad faster, though that could just be anecdotal.

Though if I am going to go to that much trouble, I might as well just get a micro form factor Dell, and get rid of the Mac all together.

Though the ONLY reason I got off the MAC is an attempt to make myself feel better about dropping 4K on a FlightSim PC.
