[Qgis-user] Mac ARM processors` /// bootcamp

[Charles Dixon-Paver]

I would suggest in the future if you're asking a new question to start a
new thread rather than replying to a post created for an unrelated topic.

Seeing as I'm already responding though I'll recommend using ubuntu based
environments which are largely reskinned for ease of use (maybe zorin for
windows users or elementary OS for mac). Linux Mint has always seemed to
have a good response with new users as well. If you're totally against
ubuntu based distributions you could try Manjaro, but considering the
significant differences under the hood you're likely to encounter problems
somewhere so you'll need to enjoy tinkering.

distrowatch.com should have plenty information available for making an
informed decision.
