How to run an Ubuntu virtual machine on Apple Silicon for free
You can run a Ubuntu Virtual Machine on Apple Silicon for free, and here's one of the ways to do so.
If you have an M1 or M2 MacBook Pro, then you probably love it as much as I do. The performance is excellent, the battery life is phenomenal, and I even use my M1 Pro MacBook over my PC most of the time. However, there are some things that it's not quite as good at, and one of those things is running virtual machines. Turns out there's a pretty neat way to run an Ubuntu virtual machine for free on an Apple Silicon Mac, though.

MacBook Pro 16 (2021) Review: Apple finally does justice to Pros with the M1 Max
Apple's new MacBook Pro powered by the M1 Max chip is the company's most ambitious laptop in years. Does it deliver? Read our review!
I think even diehard Apple loyalists would agree the company has a stubborn streak and doesn't usually concede -- remember "you're holding it wrong"? Nothing wrong with that, not when Apple has proven time and time again to be the maker of revolutionary products that change the course of consumer tech. If I've made a trillion dollars doing things my way, I'd be stubborn too. But Apple's newest high-end product, the MacBook Pro 2021 powered by new Apple silicon, is an unusual about-face for the trillion-dollar tech giant.
Apple M1 Pro vs M1 Max: Here's everything you need to know before buying
Apple's new M1 Pro and M1 Max represent a significant upgrade over the already popular M1 chip. Here's everything you need to know.
Apple's M1 SoC ushered in the beginning of its transition away from x86 based chips. The first generation Mac silicon shook the industry in many ways and won numerous accolades for its impressive performance and class-leading power efficiency. The M1 chip was a good start but it wasn't enough to help Apple lunge for a bigger piece of the pie. Well, that's changing with the new M1 Pro and the M1 Max -- two new SoCs in Apple's Silicon lineup. If Apple's elaborate presentation wasn't enough, then let it be known that these new chips will allow the company to compete with more power-hungry chips on the market. The new chips stretch their wings with more CPU and GPU cores. Notably, they'll also use more power than the M1 to leap ahead of what the competition is achieving.
macOS brings in deep optimizations for M1 Pro and M1 Max, as it should
The integration between macOS and the upgraded M1 Pro/Max chips brings endless possibilties to the latest MacBook Pro models.
Apple announced two new M1 chips -- the M1 Pro and M1 Max -- during its "Unleashed" Mac event yesterday. We were aware Apple would introduce at least one upgraded chip. However, we didn't expect its power to reach this extent. I had assumed "Unleashed" would be an exaggeration, but after watching the event, we can safely say it's, in fact, an understatement.
Apple announces M1 Pro & M1 Max, two new custom-built silicon to power the next generation of Macs
Apple has announced two new chips called the M1 Pro and the M1 Max. These new chips will power the next generation of Mac computers.
Apple transitioned its Mac computers away from Intel to its own chips last year with its M1 chip. Today, the company announced the M1 Pro and M1 Max processors, two custom-built chips to power the next generation of MacBooks and beyond. Both chips are essentially souped-up versions of Apple's first in-house chip. As a new addition to the M1 family, the new M1 Pro and the M1 Max chips pack more punch to power more devices in Apple's Mac portfolio.
Apple MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 (2021): Everything you need to know about Apple's notched Pro Laptops
In 2021, Apple launched the MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 computers with its M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, new displays, and MagSafe.
After launching the new iPhone 13 series in September, Apple announced the notched MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 alongside the third generation of AirPods. The company refreshed the MacBook Pro 13 and MacBook Air in 2020 with its custom M1 silicon. Then came the time for the elder sibling — the MacBook Pro 16 — to transition from Intel to Apple’s ARM-based chipset. Along with the update to the 16-inch model, Apple also announced a brand new 14-inch MacBook Pro. This move is similar to how the brand replaced the MacBook Pro 15 with a new 16-inch variant a couple of years back. The 2021 MacBook Pro 14 comes with Apple’s M1 Pro or M1 Max chips and brings back some legacy ports from the 2015 MacBook Pro models. Those who prefer the classic MacBook Pro design could still buy the 13-inch MacBook Pro M2 (2022) -- which the company revealed during WWDC22.
