I didn't realize UTM was open source, so I followed a few guides for setting up VMs directly with libvirt: https://n8henrie.com/2022/09/linux-vms-on-my-m1-mac/ https://n8henrie.com/2022/09/linux-vms-on-my-m1-mac/ Having since learned that they are open source I think I'll look into UTM again, but even as a novice I didn't find it too difficult to use libvirt.
