  • multipass

    Multipass orchestrates virtual Ubuntu instances

    VirtualBox does not support ARM-based architectures like the Apple silicon on these Macs yet so we'll need another option. Multipass from Canonical can launch and run virtual machines (instances) and configure them with cloud-init like a public cloud. In fact it's my preferred way to launch Ubuntu instances regardless of whether VirtualBox is available for my system.

  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    Get it with Homebrew:
