I'm quite anti apple but macbooks runnning osx make much
better use of the hardware than linux.<br>
What works well is to run a fullscreeb vm<br>
If you have a retina display then parallels scaled is better
than VirtualBox. Also parallels disk performace is nearer
the native 2000 odd MB/s.<br>
<br>
But mythfrontend works nicely in both. I've tried both 30
and 31<br>

<div>So I managed to get a High Sierra VM up and running.
What version of Xcode do y'all have running? I tried 10 and
just got the you're computer is too old for this version of
Xcode message.</div>

<div>BTW, I'm doing all of this work on a 5 year old laptop
(which still supports Catalina). What year were your
"ancient" mac put out? I'm beginning to think you should
either abandon the old HW or just move over to Linux :)</div>

<p>Mine is early 2011 Macbook Pro, OS X High Sierra 10.13.6. High as
I can go. When I have to use it for a Mythtv FE, I have been using
Kodi.</p>
