Why are Apple Silicon VMs so different?
For gaming, you want to use Crossover or the FOSS Whisky app. Parallels only runs Arm Windows which then emulates x86. This is much much slower than using Wine to translate system calls and Apple's Game Porting Toolkit to handle the Vulkan or DirectX graphics. Crossover and Whisky take care of the internals of those for you. Give those a shot, I think you'll find it much better than a full VM. In my experience some games do run better this way than the MacOS versions, though that's usually because the Mac client wasn't compiled for Apple Silicon and so Rosetta is emulating. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure WOW is already Apple Silicon native, so you probably won't get better performance this way.
For the mouse stuff, try a USB mouse if you're not already using one, combined with https://github.com/ther0n/UnnaturalScrollWheels
That works really well for me to get a Windows-like mouse curve.
TLDR skip the emulation and go for translation layers via Crossover, Whisky, and GPT. It'll be much faster. The mouse thing is separate and has nothing to do with the graphics layer.
------
Personally though, I'd just pay $20 a month for Geforce Now. It is much much faster than even the highest end Mac.

Free Tech Tools and Resources - Mac Scrolling, Load Testing, Win Server Switch Tip & More
A Free Tool UnnaturalScrollWheels is a MacOS app that allows you to invert the scroll direction for physical scroll wheels while maintaining the normal function for trackpads. aew3 recommends it "for those like me who go between dock and laptop and prefer my mouse to have a different scroll direction to the trackpad." Another Free Tool Locust is an open-source load testing tool that allows you to define whatever user behavior you like, and then swarm your system with millions of those users simultaneously. certTaker suggests, "If you want to test an actual application and how it handles network latency, potential buffering, QoS etc, then you could use Locust to stress-test REST-based applications and their APIs." A Tip Synssins shares a method for replacing an older Windows File Server with new, while keeping all shares and DNS intact:

- Is there any way to reverse the scroll direction on JUST the external mouse, but keep the default on the touchpad?

New MacOS user, should I force myself to use the default natural mouse scroll direction behavior or reverse it it to act more like Windows?
“For some reason in macOS, toggling the "Scroll direction: Natural" option in Mouse settings also changes it in Trackpad settings despite being in separate places.” Check out this app too which also takes care of acceleration. https://github.com/ther0n/UnnaturalScrollWheels

Colima k8s nix setup
You can run a virtual machine (e.g. lima) from inside a nix-shell, exactly as you would do with a regular shell.

Ask HN: Startup Devs -What's your biggest pain while managing cloud deployments?
for others similarly curious, here's an example of the thing: https://github.com/noop-inc/template-java-spring-boot/blob/m...
they seem to be using the excellent lima <https://github.com/lima-vm/lima#readme> for booting on macOS; I run colima for its containerd and k8s support but strongly recommend both projects $(brew install lima colima)
- macOS 14.4 causes JVM crashes
- Lima launches Linux virtual machines for macOS

Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS
Lima is what I use as well. It's quick and easy to just fire up a VM with default settings, but also very easy to configure with different file sharing options, port forwarding, different linux distributions, etc. (their examples are also pretty good IMO [1]).
In particular I use it to run an amd64 VM, which I need to run a stubborn service for work that doesn't run on arm CPUs.

Why are Apple Silicon VMs so different?
Lima (1) is a project that packages Linux distros for MacOS and executes them via qemu in the backend. Maybe you could solve your problem by launching one of their vms and inspecting the command line it generates. You might find an option you were missing.
