Parallels has a bad desktop user experience using Linux because of poor support for continuous scrolling. Lots of users have complained on their forums for years, but they refuse to do anything about it. I bought it for one year, and regretted the experience. It works well with Windows though.
Generally, the experience with MacOS is mediocre thanks to Apple and their Virtualization Framework, with many basic features missing for years.
- a_vanderbilt 3y agoCan you elaborate on the continuous scrolling? I've actually never noticed anything off about the scrolling.
- deaddodo 3y agoThis is ironic, considering Parallels was originally an Apple first product designed specifically for virtualizing Windows and running it's apps "seamlessly" alongside native Mac ones.
- kergonath 3y agoWhy is it ironic? The parent says that it works well with Windows, which you say is the original use case. Linux has nothing to do with this.
- deaddodo 3y agoAh, I may have misread it. I thought they were saying Parallels on Windows runs Linux fine. But, re-reading it again, your interpretation is probably correct.
