Hi folks,
I would like to ask developers of KiCAD to keep compatibility of KiCAD 7
with older MAC machines that do not have GPU METAL compatibility. Maybe
selecting properly options to not use the new METAL resource.
In my case I have a MACMINI Server mid 2011 with SSD and 16GB of RAM. The
mach
We aren't using Metal at all, for now.
>KiCAD is not a SW that demands high CPU power
Computational geometry is actually quite demanding of CPU power as board
complexity increases, so your statement is completely false.
However for simple designs yes, it isn't a real needed.

Mark, thanks for your answer.
Is it possible to compile KiCAD allowing version 7 to use Catalina instead
of BigSur as the minimum OS?
Version 6 I can run in Catalina and works.
I just finished testing KiCAD version 7 under Windows 10 (under Virtual Box
6.142). It works without using OpenGL and f
Complementing:
using KiCAD 6 on Catalina and antialiasing settings to NO or HIGH Quality
makes KiCAD perfect. No delay or slowness during resizing of windows or
drawings SCH or PCB. Fast operation for designing SCH or PCB. Adjusting
antialiasing for level FAST causes delays redrawing the windo
