Congratulations for buying a NON-PC that's IN-capable of playing games on its own except these games https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_macOS_ARM_games. You paid top dollars for a crippled machine, all thanks to Apple. Any ARM user "Must" use one of the PC Emulators told in https://github.com/mikeroyal/Apple-Silicon-Guide which is usually Rosetta (default by Apple) for you so that you can play ANY game you see but NOT in its native speed but in Emulated (slower but not much) speed.
Project mention: Cilicon VS orchard - a user suggested alternative | libhunt.com/r/Cilicon | 2023-06-22
This is higher-level than the Hypervisor framework; this Virtualization framework providers an entire VM with virtio peripherals including a display.
https://github.com/lima-vm/lima can use Virtualization framework for creating VMs, there is also https://github.com/gyf304/vmcli as a very simple CLI utility for running VMs, though it's not very actively maintained.
Project mention: Using baremetal Asahi Linux (Ubuntu) on M1 Mac Minis for homelab | /r/homelab | 2023-07-27I used an Asahi Linux distro (Ubuntu Server 22.04LTS) - https://github.com/UbuntuAsahi/ubuntu-asahi as Ubuntu is a supported distro and KVM host in Apache #CloudStack. I want to explore if this can be used as a viable KVM/virtualisation host. After initial install, I had to manually setup openssh and bridge-utils on it. Initial impressions - I was amazed, I knew the new Apple silicon chips are fast (tried on Mac OS) but on Linux on them is really "really" fast while consuming only 5-6W idle and about 20W for full "server" workloads (CPU) and it was very quiet and cool.
Project mention: Thorium – The first browser to score over 600 speedometer points on a Mac M3 Pro | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-06
Project mention: FinderFix – Remember, resize and reposition Finder windows to your liking | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-05
