Awesome! Was hoping something like this would come along — has anyone used this and can speak to their experience with it? In particular, what about graphics performance?

Just installed Debian with 1GB and 2 CPU, default settings. Runs smoothly and install was easy. Haven't dived into advanced use yet though :). Definitely promising!

Thanks for replying! Just to be clear, was this a text-only install, or a graphical/GNOME one? I'm not sure what Debian's defaults are.

I use this on my mac as well. Runs as good or better than virtual box or vmwares offerings.

Text only install. However I installed the GNOME desktop environment and it's working fine.

I know gaming is not the main pull of this, but would this be better than parallels and fusion for gaming?

I bought the Veertu 2016 Business edition in april this year, with the intention of replacing VMWare Fusion, but it didn't work out for me. At the time the performance was great and it worked properly for the most part. Though some critical features were missing, such as copy/pasting files from and to the VM. Graphics performance was nowhere near VMWare performance the last time I used it. Reading their blog, "Listening, Growing and Adapting" apparently means taking 40,- from your users and cancelling your product 6 months later.
