Description
The biggest issue with Parallels Desktop is that it is paid. There are no options on macOS to get a form of converging windowing system other than Parallels, which again, is quite costly. macOS has gained lots of traction since the release of the M1 processor, but has had a key issue, that Boot Camp will be removed, which can be considered a great loss according to some, however UTM exists to fill that gap, and some people would like to move from Parallels to FOSS virtualization software.
