Multipass can download and launch a virtual machine image with one command, and developers on M1 can now get running on Linux in as little as 20 seconds. Multipass, the quickest way to run Linux cross-platform, received an update last week allowing M1 users to run Ubuntu VMs with minimal set-up.
November 9th London, UK: On the heels of Apple’s announcement of a new line of game-changing M1 MacBooks, Canonical is bringing fast and easy Linux to the M1 platform. Parallels also supports numerous Linux systems as well, for example, Ubuntu 20.04, Kali Linux 2021.1, Debian 10.7 and Fedora Workstation 33-1.Developers can now launch Linux instances on Apple M1 with Multipass 1.8 With the Windows version of iTunes we had to wait several minutes for the program to start. As a result of this starting an app for the first time can take a long time or sometimes fails for unknown reasons. Similar to Rosetta under macOS, the ARM version of Windows has to translate many apps before they can run on the architecture, and not all Windows apps are supported. Unfortunately, Windows 10 for ARM has some limitations in practice compared to a standard Intel Windows, including issues with program compatibility.
Our own tests indicate that there will be significant benefits from the new Apple processors – when we tested the M1s performance with the Geekbench benchmark tool we saw some impressive scores compared to Intel-based Macs. According to Parallels, games like Rocket League, Among Us, Roblox, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Sam & Max Save the World should run. The system should also be well suited for games according to tests, an M1 Mac should achieve 60 percent better DirectX11 performance than a MacBook Pro with Radeon Pro 555X.
