I recently purchased 2 Mac Minis, one intel and one arm, for graalvm builds. Has anyone tried running virtual machines on mac minis for win/x64 and/or linux/aarch64 builds? Mostly looking for advice on what VM framework is best for Mac, but also any other related advice.

fwiw On an intel imac running macos I used parallels (not free) for windows builds and testing. On linux, I’m using virtualbox (free) for same.

UTM is free and working great on macos m1 and intel so far

Much smoother setup than virtualbox

Cool find! If I ever go back to macOS I will definitely check it out!

I saw a cool video of how to use a mac mini as a laptop, using an ipad with magnetic stand, wireless kb/mouse and plugin battery system
