    Very slow performance mirroring on M1 iMac

    Mirroring with my AVP with my baseline M1 iMac is a bad experience. Everything slows downs, there's lag, FPS drops, Chrome is almost unusable, and it's overall a very bad experience.

    Signing into Sonoma

    19,1 iMac/Sonoma 14.6.1, How did I add an account blank to my sign-in menu in Sonoma. I used to only need to fill in my password to start up my iMac. Somehow I have added a blank for a name. How did I do this? Anyone know how to go back to only the password needed to start up my iMac?
