Si por alguna razón cuentas con un equipo de la marca de la manzana y buscas una alternativa para virtualizar, te recomiendo Lima ya que a diferencia de otros proyectos funciona en las arquitectura x86_64 y ARM 64.

Lima utiliza QEMU para virtualizar, la gestión se realiza a través de la linea de comandos por lo que si estás buscando una alternativa gráfica o una maquina virtual con interfaz te recomiendo UTM que funciona igualmente con QEMU.

Instalación

Para la instalación de Lima utilizaremos el gestor de paquetes de Mac llamado Homebrew, sino cuentas con él puedes instalarlo de manera fácil de la siguiente forma:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Una vez instalado el gestor de paquetes podremos instalar Lima.

$ brew install lima

Lima utiliza archivos yaml para la creación de maquinas virtuales, existe una lista de templates que pueden usarse para desplegar nuestras maquinas, estos archivos los podemos localizar en el directorio, /opt/homebrew/share/lima/templates.

Administración

Crearemos una maquina virtual con ubuntu como imagen linux y asignaremos 2 gigas de memoria y 2 cpus.

personal-mac:templates tusysadmin$ pwd
/opt/homebrew/share/lima/templates

personal-mac:templates tusysadmin$ limactl create --name linux-server --set='.cpus = 2 | .memory = "2GiB"' ubuntu-lts.yaml
