Ask HN: Best tool for running a Linux desktop VM on a Apple Silicon Mac?

4 点作者 oftenwrong12 个月前
Hello HN.<p>I am a developer and my employer sent me a MacBook Pro with an Apple silicon processor. I love the Apple hardware, but I&#x27;ve never been fond of macOS. My plan is to run my preferred Debian setup in a VM. I will probably run an arm64 variant of Debian. This setup would allow me to fall back to macOS when necessary, and there are some programs I am required to run that do not support linux. At my employer, Macs are the standard issue workstations.<p>I have done a bit of research on the available tools. The main options that I am aware of are Parallels and VMWare Fusion. I also tested UTM (which is free and open source), but I ran into some bugs that I could not seem to resolve, and I am not willing to spend time fiddling. My employer is willing to cover the cost, so I am planning to use a commercial offering. However, I have not found many opinions on these tools from real people, with experience of real usage. I will be using this every work day, all day.<p>What do you recommend?<p>My requirements are as follows:<p>- Can run a Debian arm64 desktop as a guest.<p>- No artificial limitations on the resources that I can dedicate to the guest.<p>- Has a full screen mode and &quot;pointer lock&quot; feature, so that using the linux guest is completely immersive.<p>- Can run the guest in a windowed mode, for when I need to switch between the guest and the host.<p>- Supports sharing files, clipboard, devices.<p>- Works perfectly with suspend&#x2F;hibernate.

I use UTM without any issue (running Windows 11)... but for what it&#x27;s worth VMware announced both Workstation and Fusion are now free for Personal Use:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogs.vmware.com&#x2F;workstation&#x2F;2024&#x2F;05&#x2F;vmware-workstation-pro-now-available-free-for-personal-use.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogs.vmware.com&#x2F;workstation&#x2F;2024&#x2F;05&#x2F;vmware-workstat...</a><p>You can also buy a Commercial subscription for $120&#x2F;year

I’ve had no issues with Parallels, but their supports a bit rough.
