![]() Worst case - you buy a Fusion or Parallels license. Being open source, it certainly will be improving. It really looks promising and I encourage you to give it a try. Regardless, I eventually lost interest in UTM, and waited for the fix for audio in Parallels. I asked about network bridging twice in the UTM Discord forum, but my questions went unanswered. The only option I could get working in UTM however, was shared, where the VM was NATed behind the Mac's IP address. My VMs need to have their own IP on the LAN, which requires the hypervisor to provide a network bridge. I gave up trying to improve graphics performance in UTM, because networking was a show stopper. I've read that the UTM graphics performance issues are actually with QEMU, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to explain why. It was reminiscent of VirtualBox that I tried years ago on my old Intel MacBook Pro before switching to VMware Fusion. Curiously, audio worked fine, but the GUI felt slow and choppy to me. While waiting for Parallels to fix audio in Linux VMs, I installed UTM and created an Ubuntu VM. I participated in the Parallels technical review and purchased a license when it was released. Using multitouch, with a flick of the wrist, I can be in full-screen macOS, Ubuntu, or Windows 11 with each VM “feeling” like it is running at bare-metal speed. For example, I configured four-finger swipes to switch workspaces (desktops) in Trackpad settings on the M1 MacBook. The primary benefit of a Type 2 hypervisor is being able to run multiple OSs side-by-side. It works great, but I am not a fan of dual booting in general. ![]() I am dual-booting the 2014 MBA because I wanted to experience GNOME 40 multitouch natively. UTM - free but issues with GUI ( poor performance) and networking (only NAT, no bridging). I am dual-booting the 2014 MBA because I wanted to experience GNOME 40 multitouch natively. Initial problems with audio in Linux have been fixed in v 17. Initial problems with audio in Linux have been fixed in v 17. So, the only viable option for Linux on M1 currently is a Type 2 hypervisor. Support from Apple would speed up the effort. So, not an ideal solution for practical use, but promising. Drivers are needing to be reverse engineered. I also have a 2014 MBA (8 GB / 500 GB) that I dual boot with Fedora 34 and GNOME 40.Īs I understand it, bare-metal installation of Linux on M1 Macs is still in development. I have an M1 MBA (16 GB / 500 GB) running Ubuntu and Debian GNOME desktops plus Windows 10 & 11 in Parallels. ![]()
