![]() You can find these directories by going to Help > Troubleshooting Information in Thunderbird. ![]() Switching made easy: move over your profile folder from Windows to the corresponding directory on Mac. I have three email accounts with smaller providers and zero desire to re-enter all my info. With Thunderbird, I was glad that I could just move over the profile. Anyway, as far as web tools are concerned, I encountered no significant hurdles when switching systems. And the compatibility between browsers also seems to have improved in my eyes. Speaking of browsers: the fact that a lot of things are web-based nowadays enables the switch too. Therefore, I looked around for alternatives. What I can't ignore, on the other hand, is the fact that some applications I used on Windows simply don't exist on Mac. I maintain that the average user can ignore that not all programs run natively yet. The list can be filtered by application area. Here you can find a comprehensive collection regarding the current status of the most popular applications: whether they're already ported, whether there is at least a beta version or nothing yet. I didn't notice a big difference in speed, and none at all in stability. Photoshop ran Rosetta 2 until mid-March, but the code is now available natively. Whether this is due to Rosetta 2 can only be said when the native version is out. Only Spotify seems sluggish when I start it up. Also, I didn't notice any bugs that could be attributed to Rosetta 2. The software looks the same, feels the same, and the performance is excellent. In everyday life, I don't even notice for which architecture an application was developed. I can only confirm what others have reported before: Rosetta 2 works excellently. This is partly done during execution to a large extent, however, the code is already adapted for the M1 chip during installation. ![]() The Rosetta 2 operating system translates software for Intel Macs into the ARM instruction set for Silicon architecture. Quick summary: in my everyday life, Mac iOS apps have played practically no role as of yet. Applications for previous Macs with Intel processors.Programs for the new chip architecture.Thus, there are three types of software that an M1 Mac can handle: Furthermore, iPhone and iPad apps also run natively, since the new M1 chip is closely related to mobile ones. Thanks to a translation component integrated into the system, some functionalities remain. Which is why software for the previous Intel architecture doesn't run natively on these Macs. Background information Why I'm switching to Mac, part 2: hardwareĪpple's newest Macs use a completely different chip architecture than before. ![]()
