Hi, I use Pharo 8 & 9, 32 & 64 on Windows 10 without any problems,
except when packages use complex directory structure (path length
challenge) that was already mentioned in Seaside thread and elsewhere.
Repositories Pharo, Pharo-spec2 etc. are not needed for usual tasks,
except if you would like to propose PRs for those - this is the only
circumstance that I can think of. As Stephane said, "the code of the
projects is in your image/changes", so nothing is missing for the
business as usual. I don't know if these get copied from github
automatically on MacOS, though, but what would be the purpose of that?
Best wishes,
Tomaz
