I have been offered a vintage MacBook Pro 11,1 which has 1tb nvme drive (3rd party) and 8gb ram. (Edit - I have an ethernet adapter)

I could set up VMware bare metal for snakeoil but AKs blog mentioned latency as a problem.

Bootcamp is an alternative, as Ubuntu is supported since 2018.

Bootcamp seems easier, as VMware is new to me.

But the article hints that it's got problems that make VMware a better choice.

Any thoughts?
