I would even go with a third user, left 'virgin' with everything at default, just in case I needed a really clean account to see if an issue is related to something installed for one or the other user.

Using this two user approach, you only need to update the OS once for each update/upgrade. You can even sync one or the other user to other devices, if you want, and not sync the other, so they stay separated.

Any software you install can be installed for ALL users, so you only need one paid copy of anything you install. And you may be able to get away with one AppleID, if you don't turn on sync between the account and any other devices. You can set up one backup to backup all user accounts at the same time. Given that you are the sole user, I sort of presume you would have the discipline to not try to crack the 'other' user at any time.

That is, User 1 won't be able to see, read or write to User 2 area. Just note that M1 systems only run Big Sur, nothing earlier.Д«ut why not just use one version of the OS and create two separate accounts? System security will keep the data from one away from the other.

I found this guide, is it reliable? How to dual-boot Mac: run two versions of macOS Even if the performance of the current Air M1 are incredible This solution will cost me a lot for sure, I think I'll go for a MacBook Pro. Full disk encryption as mentioned above, no exchange of data. I was focused on using the MacMini only for personal stuff, but now I get that I can potentially set up a dual boot with 2 different encrypted MacOS. The backup on iCloud would be messed up ot does it take the computer name? Or hostname? I need to make sure do not mess up both backups on the cloud. Hi, I just found the golden solution for fully using my future MacBook, and finally switch to Apple for serious shhhstuff. I would wipe out the OS as it comes to me, no point of risking something on the day one, any problem that I can face here? I don't want to have an older version of MacOS, I wanna have the same latest version on both partitions, for what I understood, I can install it from the recovery In any case, the usage would be development and other things, I won't be using it for obvious risky things like torrents etc. I think it's safe enough to have the partitions separated, and they will never mount the other one, which means there is no data exchage between them. alongside Windows 10 or Windows 10 with Windows 7/8. You are much safer using a VM or installing other operating systems to an external drive.Hi, I just found the golden solution for fully using my future MacBook, and finally switch to Apple for serious shhhstuff Dual boot software (visual BCD editor) is for a person who wants to install two or more operating system on a single computer.For example Linux OS like Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora etc.

So many people end up destroying both macOS and the other operating systems when resizing partitions and installing/uninstalling the other operating systems. Even Ubuntu 19.10 by default only includes the v5.3 kernel although it is possible to upgrade to the v5.5 kernel after Ubuntu is installed (or it will soon be possible to get v5.5).ДЄt this time if you want to use Linux on this laptop you will need to use a VM.ДЇYI, before you try to install any other OS on the same drive as macOS make sure to have good verified working backups of macOS. IIRC the v5.5 kernel will support the Keyboard & Trackpads on MBPro 2016-2017 (and probably 2018+).

I've heard someone is working on T2 chip support, but I don't believe it will be anytime soon.Д«esides the T2 chip issue the default Linux kernel in most distributions do not have the necessary drivers to be able to use the Keyboard or Trackpad since those items are no longer considered USB devices.

You cannot currently install Linux onto bare metal on any 2018+ Mac which uses a T2 chip since the Linux kernel doesn't yet contain the necessary drivers to communicate with the T2 chip and hence the SSD.
