- tecleandor 4y agoHaven't worked much on it, as I have an Intel, but I'd say the best two options you have now are Lima and UTM: https://github.com/lima-vm/lima https://github.com/lima-vm/lima https://mac.getutm.app/ https://mac.getutm.app/ I checked Virtualbox this week and it's also beta/testing for M1
- kcartlidge 4y agoParallels running ARM Windows (and Linux obvs) is now very good. And if it is Windows you're using, then Microsoft announced (last week?) that it is now a supported platform. I've used VS2022 (ARM version) with ARM Windows 11 on an 8GB M1 Air, and it's faster than my work 10th Gen i7. Obviously if you use X86 and AMD64 stuff in that configuration it's running emulated by ARM Windows, but for most non-dev stuff I use native Mac versions anyway and Parallels gives me Windows 11 either full-screen or as seamless windowed apps. It's impressive.
