![]() They are making surprisingly good progress, including a working GPU driver prototype. After monitoring the Linux thread for the last few months, I am of the opinion that the best solution is going to be running Sierra under Linux + Wine once Asahi Linux project matures a bit more. I wasn't able to run wine as version that I get through brew is not compiled for apple silicon. So, to summarize, Parallels works with some annoying, but not mission critical issues. The stickiness can be fixed by "optimizing for games" (whatever that means). the mouse feels off and sometimes sticks to the edge of the screen. There are also issues with mouse pointer precision, i.e. There is no way to fix this, that I know of, without exiting fullscreen mode (as in: entering the single window mode), reentering it, and rearranging all windows all over again. At the same time, it will render the main screen on the correct space/desktop and the rest of screens in that space will be pitch black. Secondly, if screensaver/screenlock is on or the computer was put to sleep and woken up, there is a high chance that Parallels will render all Windows' screens, except for the main one, on another desktop (in mac's nomenclature it's called "spaces") covering other programs' windows. Parallels will optimize for one or the other, depending on settings. Firstly, it is not possible to have clear and accurate rendering on the internal screen and external monitors at the same time. Fullscreen Mode seems to mostly work, but it suffers from several subtle issues. Also, windows in coherence mode seem to be of some special type, I think they are treated as dialogs, meaning they don't cooperate with external tools for window management, like Amethyst. Trying to bring windows back from the dock does nothing. As far as I can tell it is not possible to bring windows back without exiting coherence, entering fullscreen mode, bringing all windows back, arranging them, and going back to coherence. Coherence seems to work great until for some reason windows get minimized, for example when I lock the screen or it's locked after a period of inactivity. The only mode that works reliably, but is a no-go for a multi-monitor setup, is a single-window mode. Problems with Parallels - this is mostly around integration with the shell and multi-monitor support. ![]() On the plus side, fonts are crisp compared to Parallels and windows are native, i.e. Overall I would not feel comfortable placing trades when using this method. Looking at Message Log I notice that Market Profile study complains about index out of bounds errors and there are some socket access issues, which I have never seen on Windows or Parallels. There are delays with window content redrawing when windows are resized. Only the last price on the price axis was updating. In the past I had an issue where all charts simply stopped updating. After I tried that, the entire program halted and had to be killed. For example, after opening Trade Activity log window I was able to click on toolbar menus, but not on drop downs - they don't react. Problems with CrossOver - Sierra is very buggy and unstable when running with CO. I do have a separate Windows laptop just for Sierra, but in comparison with m1 max mbp it's just loud, hot, and slow. I would be interested in knowing if others have noticed similar problems and if there are good solutions. There are issues with both, but in my experience CrossOver is much worse. I've been looking into moving to MacOS again, reevaluating both CrossOver and Parallels. My only issue with Crossover was that I failed to install a program called "Microsoft Edge Webview2 Runtime", but that has nothing to do with Sierra Chart. hopeless.įor Intel based Mac, I think, Linux+Wine still a way better option than Crossover, maybe? Here are my thoughts and observations, hope I get the right picture:Ĭrossover and Wine are done by the same develop team, if Crossover works on newer Macs, then Wine should too, they just don't want make it happen for marketing purpose? Each Crossover bottle is basically a segregated Wine environment?Ĭrossover only works on M1 Macs as long as Apple supports Rosetta 2, because it doesn't run natively on M1? I visited an Apple Store yesterday and asked a tech there how Rosetta works, he seems quite confused, opened a browser and started to google 'Mac Rosetta' with misspelling of 'Rosetta'. Been curious how Crossover works, just found out they have a Linux version too, installed trail version for Linux, it seems Sierra Chart works on Crossover very well, I don't really notice any major differences with Wine.
