However, you may be able to use an app called UTM to run Zorin OS in a virtual machine on Mac computers with Apple silicon processors. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] trevor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago* Running x86_64 emulation on an ARM CPU is a miserable experience and should be avoided. I've done this on an M-series Mac with UTM, and you're looking at ~10-minute boot times just to get the VM booted, and ~3 minutes for it to render a response to whatever you click. It's honestly wild that they seriously suggest doing this on their Wiki. permalink fedilink source parent [–] blackghost1st@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago Thank you! permalink fedilink source parent
