![]() If it's a virtual one, you can just bloody clone the machine first for safety and then use whichever tool that does parting, if anything goes wrong you always have the backup. It's easier to backup the partition (using something like winclone), delete the partition in OSX, and create a new one with Boot Camp Assistant, then restore to the new one. If it is a Boot Camp partition resizing it is tricky because very little software out there can resize HFS+ (OSX). It's your loss, it's your 100, the fool and his money are easily (G)parted.īesides, you should specify here that if this is a Boot Camp partition or a virtual hd. Look, Gparted (and Winclone) have been used reliably by thousands of users including me that can atest for their reliability. MacFuse? Where did I hear this name before? Oh, I know, it's what PARALLELS DESKTOP FOR MAC uses to write to NTFS (Windows partitions).Īnd if you're so concerned that you'll lose your data you can clone your NTFS partition first using Winclone, oh, wait, it's free also it can't be trusted. FreeBSD? That's what Apple uses for Darwin, the backbone of OSX. Webkit? That's what Apple uses for Safari. 'Oh but's it's commercial, it's someone we can sue if something goes wrong', no, if you read their EULAs, you're on your own.Īnd it's not freeware, it's opensource, like Linux, FreeBSD, WebKit or MacFuse. Nothing guarantees you that the 'commercial' product you're going to buy doesn't mess your data. You, Sir, are an easy target for extortion. Gparted livecd isn't installed in Windows, so there isn't a need for it to support any specific variation of windows (server or desktop, xp or vista, 32 bit or 63 bit, etc). ![]() Which are the filesystems it supports and the operations it supports for each one of them (it supports all operations for NTFS). The lack of Windows Server support from some of these commercial solutions is just 'defective by design'.Īs for gparted since it's an opensource solution, they have nothing to gain from making such distinction and so, all you need to know about gparted is this: And if you're running a server you should know that, but maybe, as you say, you need help from another person, maybe someone that will offer you product with a shiny sticker on it that says "and for just $100 more you can get Windows Server support!!" *snort*. While the game did have some lag, it ran well most of the time as you can see below.What it needs to support is NTFS and FAT and gparted does, that 'server system support' crap (escuse me my french) is just marketing of commercial products to make you pay more.Īt the filesystem level in the Windows world server or desktop they are all the same, NTFS (or FAT). ![]() The CrossOver team successfully installed some Windows software on M1 Macs, including the desktop version of the popular game Among Us and even Team Fortress 2. I can’t tell you how cool that is there is so much emulation going on under the covers. That’s incredible when you consider that we’re on literally the cheapest Apple Silicon device you can buy – one that gets thermally throttled and is missing a GPU core. The latest version of CrossOver emulates Windows Intel binaries on macOS through Rosetta 2 technology, which emulates x86 binaries on the new ARM Mac hardware. While Apple and Microsoft have confirmed that the new ARM-based Macs no longer support Windows (at least for now), CodeWeavers developers were able to run CrossOver 20 on Macs with M1 chip. In other words, it allows users to install and run Windows software on other operating systems without even installing a full version of Windows as you do on a virtual machine. If you’re unfamiliar with CrossOver, it’s a platform based on the open-source Wine project that can run the Windows environment on macOS and Linux. However, CodeWeavers announced that CrossOver 20 now works on Apple Silicon Macs, which means that the new M1 Macs can run Windows software right on macOS. We already know that the new Macs with M1 chip can run both Intel and ARM apps made for macOS and iOS, but Mac users who rely on Windows for some specific software have lost Boot Camp support.
