![]() ![]() Contrary to the circlejerk neither the UI nor the app behaviors are very consistent (green button to zoom/maximize/resize). can't turn off external screen in the displays settings). Multi-screen support is laughably limited (e.g. The top menu bar is ugly and a space waster. The dock is an archaic outdated task manager. The fact that you need tools like Witch, BTT, Rectangle, AltTab, and a dozen other third-party applications on Mac and still be worse than Windows 10 or even Cinnamon (Linux Mint DE) is unacceptable. And what's heart-breaking is that it's from 2015 and still relevant! You never know how much you miss those features until you don't have them anymore. I could go into the details but there's already this article that outlines most issues. Multitasking on Windows 10 blows MacOS out of the water. When my MBP broke down in 2017 and I decided to give Windows 10 a chance. I loved that MacBook Pro 13 and no Windows laptop at the time could even come close to it (don't even ask about Linux). I bought my first mac in early 2013 and at the time I was amazed by how Macs were miles ahead of everything on the market. I am sure there are going to be many ready to defend Apple tooth and nail and I expect to get downvoted to hell but I found many helpful reddit posts on macs through Google search and maybe this will help some users who're thinking about switching to Macs due to the justified hype around M1 devices. If you are looking for a light-weight solution, I recommend you to take a look at ROS_on_M1_Mac_Docker.but Mac OS is in a sad state and I decided to return this magnificent piece of hardware. In conclusion, using Prallels as the virtual machine to run Ubuntu 20.04 and ROS noetic works best for me. I will update this blog if I found a way to build ros1 on M1 mac later. I tried to build ros1 on M1 mac, however, the building of the rviz is troublesome. I encountered extra issues except the ones listed in the original blog, but you can use similar tricks included in the blog. You can also check Kliment Mamykin’s blog to build ROS2 on macOS Big Sur M1. mac-ros supprts ROS Melodic and Ubuntu 18.04 as well as the previous one, but it can use VNC to support GUI display of rviz. I followed the ROS_on_M1_Mac_Docker to install a ROS melodic and a Ubuntu 18.04 docker image on my M1 MacBook Air, they work super well except the xrdp which supports the GUI display through Parallels client. You can even open app in Ubuntu with Alfred under macos, which is pretty convenient for my workflow.Īnother solution is Docker. ![]() For the most cases, ‘shared network’ should work for you. I tried to change the network from ‘shared network’ to ‘wifi’ in order to get a consistent ip address under the router, but sometimes it does not work as I expected. I installed a Windows 10 and a Ubuntu 20.04. This virtual machine can support Ubuntu and Windows very well on the new Apple M1 chip. The best virtual machine platform I found is Parallels. UTM also works, you can refer to UTM on M1 MacBook Air for reference. The QEMU barely works, and I got the same result as this reddit post, which I do not recommend you to do that. To run the Ubuntu on the M1 MacBook Air, I tried several different virtual machines. But now, it turns out that I am very confident to work on the M1 MacBook Air! I hesitated for quite a long time since my major working platform is Ubuntu (on ThinkPad X1 Extreme 2nd), and I worried about the software compatibility of M1 platform a lot. To be honest, this is my first Mac laptop. Once I heard docker has support M1 chip natively, I order the MacBook Air immediately. I bought 2020 MacBook Air in early 2021 since I was waiting for the catch-up of the software adaptation to the M1 chip. Here, I would like to talk about my experience with M1 MacBook AIr. I put some links below for your reference. If you are intested in the general experience of M1 MacBook Air, there are a lot of YouTube videos you can checkout out. Overall, I am satisfied with this solution, and I have already integrate my MacBook Air into my daily work pipeline. ![]() Both methods run blazingly fast on my 2020 M1 MacBook Air without noise and obvious heat. There are two ways you can use ROS and ubuntu on Apple M1 chip: Virtual Machines and Docker. In this post, I will introduce the setup procedure of Ubuntu and ROS on the platform based on Apple Silicon M1 chip. ![]()
