That's surprising. I tried running an Ubuntu VM using VMware on an M3 Macbook Air with 16 GB RAM, and it was slow as molasses. Typing was a pain because there was noticeable lag between keypress and appearance of the char.

Something was very wrong there. Not blaming you -- just quite sure that should have performed just fine.

I'll give it another shot.

I had.... acceptable results with UTM using 22.04. It was by no means pleasant, but it was usable. Mind you, I was using the ARM version. not sure if you were using x64 or not. Anyway, I discovered brew and iTerm and I really don't need to virtualize linux anymore.

I did use the ARM version. I figured there'd be less overhead in translating instruction sets.
