Re: How to run PSUD on macOS or Linux/ARM?

 

You can probably get a perfectly good machine at a thrift store.
It might take a bit of legwork, but great bargains are available.

As Duncan posted here recently- get cheap Windows machine. It may not be the answer you wanted, but it may be expedient.

I've bought 5 mini PCs since August, two cost real money, however three of them have been bargain basement "Celeron" type machines going for GBP ?149 with 500GB solid state drive and 16GB of DDR memory. At today's rates, that's USD $187 a piece pre-loaded with Windows 11 and they run great out of the box.


For single-threaded stuff like PSUD they are still over 50% of the speed of a Core i9 machine costing 6 times the price. Computing has never been cheaper in real terms :)
