We’re finally moving off of Linux to Mac. I’ll be doing remote using Parsec. Anyone have any “Gotchas” for doing this? Or any helpful hints? Remoting in from a windows 11 box.
I bet you’ll have some confusion with control/option/windows keys swapping around. I did end up putting Karabiner on my Mac so when Flame is the front app it swapped command/option so muscle memory was like being on linux.

I’ve got a lot of python scripts that I use on a daily basis. Should these just transfer over?

Dumb stuff like UI can be problematic with the differences between Linux (zenity) and macOS (osascript) but if you use the /opt/Autodesk/python installation as your source of truth for all packages youre mostly in the clear.
You can also switch all of your UI stuff to pyside and collapse your whole world in to a black hole.
User installed packages can also be problematic.

Do you run Adobe or Resolve on the same MAC? Or keep it on an external?
You can definitely run all of them on the Mac. macOS is more forgiving than Linux. No need for an external install.
I have an M1 Ultra Mac Studio. I usually have Flame, Resolve, and Cinema4D all open at the same time. They all play nice together and there’s no slow down unless you are doing actual rendering in one of them.

We run Nuke, Flame, Resolve, Maya all on the same Linux machines without issue or installation nonsense.

Do you think that windows 10 is a good platform for flame?
I have this version of Minesweeper which I would like to play during renders.
