![]() If money doesn't matter, go for Parallels Desktop. Not _that_ much difference and you can get used to everything. VMware Fusion has good support for macOS as VM, but the GUI itself is often clunky and sometimes outright ugly (progress bars, menu bar dialogs, small stuff like that).Īt the end of the day all run their VMs fine and fast and stable. VirtualBox is less comfortable to work with when you want to emulate macOS, but has superior support for any sort of Linux machine. In my experience VirtualBox and VMware Fusion on a Mac are about as good as the other. I've also tested VirtualBox (which has been my go-to product on Windows) in the time between the Parallels Desktop subscription ended and VMware Fusion 12 became free-as-in-beer. And - because I am a penny pincher with Scottish roots - I'll stick with it, though I miss Parallels Desktop. If you are looking to use a virtual machine as a casual user, and you don’t mind the cost, Parallels Desktop is the best option. It is faster, better, and works better with Mac OS and iPhones. Select the Configure button on the top bar for Parallels and the Virtual Machine menu then Settings for VMWare Fusion. It looks like VMware does not yet support full 3D acceleration on ARM, so I'm guessing that most games will NOT work on it. Apple Silicon models are limited to OpenGL 4.3. Better integrated, less resource intensive and just "slicker" to use.īut it costs money, and I am a cheapskate, so when my subscription ran out and VMware Fusion offered the most modern version for free, I opted to test it. While VMware Fusion is more suited for technical users and comes at a cheaper price, Parallels Desktop is the better of the two. From the link: Intel machines can support running DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.3, as well as running eGPUs. To answer your question upfront: Parallels Desktop is waaaaay smoother on the Mac. Ive used VirtualBox for Ubuntu at one time, which was simple and free, but unfortunately I couldnt even get it to run the ARM version of Windows 11. I've switched from 10 years of using Parallels Desktop to VMware Fusion 12 about 2 months ago. UTM vs Parallels-Student vs Parallels-Trial (for Windows 11 VM) Im currently working on a 16GB M1 MacBook Pro and I am looking to finalize on a good virtual environment. That's it! If you have any questions, feel free to message any of the moderators.Ha. Windows is only going to become better and better with their emulation engine so future is looking good. I would trust Parallels more than UTM or emulation.
