    Lightweight Linux VMs on MacOS

  • It's possible to use Apple's virtualisation framework when running native arch VMs in QEMU, for example setting -accel to hfv, seen here: https://github.com/beringresearch/macpine

    UTM should also support this.

  • lima

    Linux virtual machines, with a focus on running containers

  • That is cool. Satisfying to figure out an optimization like that!

    A little off topic, but on my M1 Macs I have been using Lima https://github.com/lima-vm/lima to get shells running in a Linux container.

    Google has done a very good job adding containerization to ChromeOS. I keep a Lenovo Chromebook around for quick access to Linux. I find myself doing this more often than SSHing to a VPS.
