UTM

UTM is an open-source virtualization tool for Mac that leverages QEMU to run a wide range of operating systems—Windows, Linux, BSD, legacy macOS versions—on both Apple Silicon (ARM) and Intel-based Macs. Its intuitive interface simplifies VM setup without the need for expensive proprietary software costs. UTM supports hardware acceleration where possible, delivering solid performance for testing, development, or daily computing tasks. Ideal for users seeking a free alternative to tools like Parallels, it balances power with accessibility for all skill levels.
