Ventura graphics Mac

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Why would I try and install a VM on an M1 (ie an EMULATOR for a
different processor) and install Linux, of which most distributions do
not have the latest and greatest LyX and or TeX(live) to fix a bug that
is almost certainly going to be fixed soon and can be reasonably easily
circumvented until then?

Makes no sense to me, whatsoever.


I was talking about speed. I haven't tried out the intel only version
on the M1 but accept that this issue is there as well.


BTW, I do most of my work on the command line using iTerm and so
copy/paste of a graphics name is easy. However, I must confess that if
I do insert an image, I do (did) it with the file browser.
