Opposite reaction here.
This looks like it's just running Linux VMs as a guest in macOS, right? Was that not already possible on macOS, or just not possible on the M1/M2 chips?
You can attach a GUI to the VM now.

#42For those wondering what's new, you can now attach a GUI now even if you use the Virtualization framework. Previously you'd have to use the lower-level Hypervisor framework and provide your own framebuffer device.

It was not possible on M1/M2 chips (aside from a commercial solution, Parallels, which is €99.99/yr).

I'm still reasonably excited by the new title of this post.
Virtualization support is one of the things I've still been missing on the M1.

VMware Fusion M1 Tech Preview has been available since last September. Give it a try.

#47"We'll also explore how you can install and run full Linux distributions on Apple silicon, and share how you can take advantage of Rosetta 2 to run x86-64 Linux binaries." That sounds like running Linux on bare metal...
It's annoyingly ambiguous. The "on Apple silicon" and "full Linux" strongly suggest it's bare metal. (Why say it that way if it's not?) But the title is "Create macOS or Linux virtual machines", which strongly suggests it's not bare metal. But sometimes people write titles that only hit the biggest highlights, and the title may not mention everything that's in the video, so it's not impossible that it's Mac VMs, Linu…
Yeah the vagueness is annoying. They let us run windows via boot camp why not let us run Linux on bare metal? A man can dream. But kudos to the asahi Linux folks — they’re doing amazing work.

Somebody has to write a longer and in-depth essay on the basics for us non-system programmer to know what is going on and what is expected. Wsl1 and wsl2 is under stable, like mvs is. Guess Microsoft and IBM are in the same family tree in this aspects.
Apple always confuse me. What is this, anyone please.

I've desperately been trying to get an account with VMware, and I simply cannot. Every account I've tried making doesn't let me login.
Is there some trick to letting me give them money?
