After working on VMware Fusion on my new Mac running Windows (for VPN purposes) which is running the very hefty IntelliJ, It really does require a lot of juice to process at a regular pace as it would solely on Linux. As expected, I had to increase the RAM of the virtual machine. When doing things like a source DIff of local vs repository files in IntelliJ while on VPN on the virtual machine, that does take several seconds longer but I am sure another boost of the RAM would fix that. As a user, VMware is great to use, incredibly easy to install on the Mac and add virtual machines. I’m waiting for the latest release of Ubuntu to add that as well..Apr 23.
