No, Parallels has its own hypervisor as a kernel module (mainly used pre-Big Sur) and can use Hypervisor Framework (mainly used with Big Sur). It also emulates a lot of hardware.
Virtualization Framework only supports booting Linux VMs with minimal hardware emulation at the moment. It is only available on Big Sur.
- ulzeraj 6y agoYou are right. I was thinking Hypervisor Framework and its usage by Parallels Desktop Lite from the App Store. Lite version doesn’t require additional drivers and bridge adapters. It runs on top of Hypervisor Framework.
