Hi, I'm using a MacBook Pro 2018, and I'm dipping my toes into virtual machine, tried VirtualBox and then moved to QEMU with UTM after some recommendation on YouTube saying KVM is just better.

However, my Windows 10 virtual machine created with UTM is so slow and laggy. Then I tried the Parallel Desktop, which is propriety and the performance is so much better. Why is that?

I don't want to use a propriety paid program for VM, so I want to ask how to improve performance on UTM or any open-source alternative that gives the performance on par with one on parallel desktop.

Thanks for your help!

I already posted this on c/commandline but I think it's more suitable here.

Welcome to Tmux community, let's share your configs, seek technical help and have some discussions.

Hi guys, it's my new blog post on managing snippets with a TUI program called Nap. I know it not addressing Neovim specifically, but writing code in the terminal in general, and I'm requesting Tmux community btw. Hope you find the blog useful.

I think the main pain point of distro hopping is learning a new package manager, I discovered Nix a while ago, it works on every single OS, has the biggest package repo out there. I replaced Homebrew on my mac with it. If this piques your interest, give it a go. Later, you can integrate with Home-manager to manage all of your program config to have a reproducible dev environment on any machine, as described in the tutorial here.

The catch is it's really advanced and got steep learning curve. You can adopt gradually tho. Just get started with nix-shell and nix-env

What are some of your recommendations for books, videos, podcasts, or any other media that inspire and spark more passion for programming and computer science in general? I'm interested in hearing how these resources have helped you grow as a programmer.

I found this post really helpful to anyone who is using tmux
