VMware Fusion is a perfectly good way of running VMs, and IMO has a better and more native UI than any other solution (Parallels, UTM, etc)

- stephenr 1y agoThis is a weird take to me. VMWare Fusion very much feels like a cheap one-time port of VMWare Workstation to macOS. On a modern macOS it stands out very clearly with numerous elements that are reminiscent of the Aqua days: icon styles, the tabs-within-tabs structure, etc. Fusion also has had some pretty horrific bugs related to guest networking causing indefinite hangs in the VM(s) at startup. Parallels isn't always perfect sailing but put it this way: I have had a paid license for both (and VBox installed), for many years to build vagrant images, but when it comes to actually running a VM for purposes other than building an image, I almost exclusively turn to Parallels.

- mickelsen 1y agoI still can run the latest ARM Fedora Workstation on Apple Silicon with Fusion, and similar distros straight from the ISO without having to tweak stuff around or having problems with 3D acceleration, unlike UTM.
