As title says, can you simultaneously use both Sonoma and Windows 11 on M2 air and people who use it, what are the benefits? Can you install programs for both separately?

I use parallels desktop. It's kinda pricey but it works great.

Sounds great but as my RAM is only 8gb I don’t think it will work effectively.

Problem with Parallels is their subscription model.

You would have to use a virtual machine (Parallels is a popular choice but is a paid service). I have ran linux through a UTM virtual machine and it ran well enough for what i needed.
