With the new architecture comes incredible performance gains, thermal improvements, and dramatically improved battery life, but poses some unique challenges for virtualization apps like Fusion Pro and Player. With the introduction of Apple silicon, it was revealed that the new CPU line would be based on the same Arm CPU architecture found in an iPhone or on an iPad as opposed to the x86 or x86_64 Intel (or AMD) architectures found on desktops and notebooks. There are challenges there which will require Apple to work with us to resolve.

macOS VMs are not in scope in the short term.

Insider builds of Windows 10 ARM may only be installed on systems with a licensed version of Windows 10, which is currently not available on Apple hardware.

Microsoft currently does not sell licenses of Windows 10 ARM for virtual machines.

Windows is second priority behind Linux.

We don’t plan to support installing or running x86 VMs on Macs with Apple silicon.

Development is moving along very well, meeting or exceeding our expectations, but there are challenges and much work still to do.

We will be delivering a Tech Preview of VMware Fusion for macOS on Apple silicon this year.

The quick readīefore we get right into it, I just want to summarize our position way up front with a quick tl dr: Now, as you learn your way around Linux, don’t forget to check out our Linux help area here too.It’s been a few months since our informal announcement via Twitter back in November where we committed to delivering VMware VMs on Apple silicon devices, so we wanted to take this opportunity to share a bit about how our progress with our little project to bring Fusion to life on Apple silicon Macs this year.

Congrats, you’re now running a full install of Ubuntu Desktop Linux on your Mac with VMware Fusion! I log in and it’s a full Ubuntu 16.0 Linux installation and system, ready to go online, run various included utilities and games, and much more:Īnd that’s it. You do remember the password you specified, yes? Looks great to me! I’m going to just let Fusion for Mac do all the work now by clicking “Finish” and sitting back to watch.Īfter a few seconds the install starts in earnest, including information windows from Ubuntu itself:Īfter a surprisingly small amount of time – it’s a fast install – you’ll be prompted to log in to your new Ubuntu Linux virtual machine. If you want to be able to access your main Mac desktop while within Ubuntu, check “Make your home folder accessible to the virtual machine” too. Turns out that VMware Fusion is smart enough to go through the entire Linux setup process without bothering you at all, so this is where you specify your basic account and password. Smart, eh? To proceed, just click “Continue” on the lower right. Notice that the program has figured out what OS we’re installing and identified it’s a 64-bit version of Ubuntu Linux. Once it’s read the file image, VMware Fusion for Mac will automatically move to the next step: Simply drag the ISO file icon onto the drop target, as shown: The new virtual machine window will pop up, ready to go. Click on it and choose “New…” to create a new VM: On the top left of the main screen there’ll be a “+” button. While it’s downloading, launch VMware Fusion.

It’ll take a while for the download even on a fast connection. Easiest is to go to /download/desktop or just click on the box below (it’ll grab the latest copy if things have updated in the interim between me writing this and you downloading the OS): Grab an evaluation copy or go ahead and pay for a license at. To start, you’ll need VMware Fusion, of course. One huge benefit: You can run Ubuntu and whatever other VM you prefer simultaneous to also running MacOS X and all of your favorite Mac apps too.

If you’ve just got some regular user software to test out, or just want to learn more about Linux with the easy Ubuntu world, then a VM is going to be a smarter alternative.

If you’re testing software that accesses device drivers or hardware, for example, a dual boot is probably going to be better. The only comment I’ll make about dual boot versus virtual machine is that a dual boot install will be a bit cleaner and faster, if that makes a difference. Even better, you can grab a free ISO disk image of Ubuntu directly from their Web site and once you’ve grabbed the 1.5GB file, it’s rather astonishingly easy to go from download to running Ubuntu installation! Great choices all around, Ubuntu is my favorite Linux distro and VMware Fusion has been a cornerstone of my Mac experience for many years and does a great job installing and running just about every flavor of Linux (and Windows too).
