[MacTUG] UTM | Virtual machines for Mac

[Marlon A. Griffith]

"""
Windows. Linux. Meet Apple Silicon.

UTM employs Apple's Hypervisor virtualization framework to run ARM64 
operating systems on Apple Silicon at near native speeds. On Intel Macs, 
x86/x64 operating system can be virtualized. In addition, lower 
performance emulation is available to run x86/x64 on Apple Silicon as 
well as ARM64 on Intel. For developers and enthusiasts, there are dozens 
of other emulated processors as well including: ARM32, MIPS, PPC, and 
RISC-V. Your Mac can now truly run anything.

Designed for macOS

Unlike other free virtualization software, UTM was created for macOS and 
only for Apple platforms. It is designed completely from the ground up 
for the new style introduced in Big Sur. UTM looks and feels like a Mac 
app with all the privacy and security features you expect as well.

QEMU without the headache

Under the hood of UTM is QEMU, a decades old, free and open source 
emulation software that is widely used and actively maintained. While 
QEMU is powerful, it can be difficult to set up and configure with its 
plethora of command line options and flags. UTM is designed to give 
users the flexibility of QEMU without the steep learning curve that 
comes with it.

What's the difference in the Mac App Store version?

UTM is and always will be completely free and open source. The Mac App 
Store version is identical to the free version and there are no features 
left out of the free version. The only advantage of the Mac App Store 
version is that you can get automatic updates. Purchasing the App Store 
version directly funds the development of UTM and shows your support .
