    Why can’t you run Parallels?

      I am not sure if you can not, but ARM doesn’t come with hardware level virtualization features many of the solutions today depend on. VBox for example doesn’t want to run until I enable those in BIOS. It’s certainly is possible to emulate anything, but probably less efficiently.

        This is hilariously wrong. I have run virtual machines on Apple Silicon myself. They literally built a virtualization framework for the product in question.

      We can use parallels, just not to run x86 windows.

      For the same reason you can’t run Windows 11 Pro on your phone. The chip architecture.

        As weird as it sounds you can (with poor performance). With something like Limbo or Termux you can actually get Windows or any x86 OS running underneath Android on a phone.

        Fun project maybe, but not really utilitarian though. Never used apple so can’t actually report on how well their emulation and/or translation layer is working on Arm.

        You might want to tell that to the people who make Parallels.

        You can run Windows on Apple Silicon in a VM. These people are just wrong. Also Windows for ARM exists.
