  Quickly create and run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux desktop virtual machines.

  

RDP is really quite impressive. I host Windows VMs on a Linux server. With quickemu[0] you can fire up a Windows Vm in minutes. It fetches the ISO, sets everything up - even breezes through setup, creates a user, does KMS for activation, etc. One command and a few minutes later you're looking at a Windows desktop. Setup Remote Desktop (with SSH forwarding or VPN of course) and you have a remarkably responsive (even at 4k single and dual display) GUI experience and powerful remote connection - file sharing, sound forwarding, clipboard sharing, even printers and arbitrary devices.

  Linux virtual machines, with a focus on running containers

  

I would be tempted to try this but both of my M1 Macs only have 8G of memory.

For text/she’ll only Linux, I have been using https://github.com/lima-vm/lima for the last week and for what I needed (I wanted to setup picolisp and Emacs for some experiments) it was all good.
