So, your best bet to run virtual machines is using parallels or UTM (free) on macOS. However, that is still in closed beta and not feasible for users.Īnd, when it comes to VirtualBox, it does not support the ARM platform yet and has no plans for it. While you have tools like VMware and VirtualBox to create virtual machines, it does not work on ARM-based Apple M1 silicon.Īs of now, VMware is slowly adding support for its products to work on Apple M1. Unfortunately, getting a Linux instance up and running on M1 devices is not a straightforward task.
It is convenient for most developers to spin up a Linux VM instance and continue working on their system without interruptions.
Ever since Apple introduced its M1 chips, numerous efforts have been made to run Linux on it.Įven though that is still in progress, Canonical seems to have made it possible to run Linux (Ubuntu) as virtual machines (VMs) on Apple M1.
