I doubt I'll get it running as smooth as Win10(arm) under Parallels, but as a learning experience, there's a lot to gain by doing things the 'hard way'. I've installed QEMU via Homebrew, and while I haven't gotten Win10(arm) running yet that way, it's certainly a goal of mine. By using UTM, I'm teaching myself lots of cool stuff. I'm a big proponent of FOSS, and I have mad respect for the QEMU devs, and to the same extent Crossover is a great app to support as your $ goes to support the Wine project. I'm teaching myself QEMU, as many programs are just glorified front ends for QEMU (Nutanix I believe runs on QEMU). Parallels will work, flat out, it's pretty dang cool. Diablo2 for example under Crossover runs wicked, no prob.Īll this is on my M1 MacBook Air, running Big Sur.Įdit: I re-read your initial post, and if your only need is to run one light weight IDE, then UTM is a great option.ĭepends on your goals, and if you want to spend the $. I wasn't able to get either of those to run P1999, but I did have success w/ Crossover running a few other games, just as a test/proof of concept. That all being said, I also tried Wine, and even bought Crossover. Anecdotally, it appears running Parallels isn't using a ton of CPU, nor is it draining my battery in any absurd way. Also, I was worried about the battery drain of running a full VM vs using wine/crossover, but it's not bad.
For that price, it was worth giving it a shot.I fired up Paralells, and (hyperbolically) in three clicks I had my program working flawlessly. But all of it, including Parallels was only $25USD. Parallels, some vpn software, and three other titles I'll never use.
I normally wouldn't have spent money on Parallels, but I got a promo email from Boingboing of all places, and it was the last day of some multi-app bundle package they were selling. But Win10 itself ran, and was fully functional. Models not rendering, and too much screen tearing to be useful. On UTM's GitHub page some users are reporting various QEMU tweaks that enable faster performance for win10(ARM) that UTM hasn't implanted yet.My goal has been to run a version of Everquest called Project1999.It took me weeks to get it (P1999) working under UTM. I'm running both extensively.UTM being just a front end for QEMU, means it's a nice(free) way to get up and running quick.
