What is easier to install on MacOS Monterey - FenicsX or the legacy version?  
I have a powerbook with M1 chip, but can also rely on older ones with intel chips.  
Any advice/experiences?

Probably FEniCSx via conda. See [GitHub - FEniCS/dolfinx: Next generation FEniCS problem solving environment](https://github.com/FEniCS/dolfinx#conda).
