While this first user account is automatically added to the wheel or sudo group on your Linux distribution to allow it to run administrative commands as the root user, you should set the root user password following installation using the sudo passwd root command.

The 127 GB virtual disk will show up as /dev/vda instead of /dev/sda because we’re using the very fast VirtIO interface instead of emulating a SCSI, SATA or NVMe interface.ĭuring the Linux installation, you’ll be prompted to create a regular user account (e.g., Jason).

MAC ON LINUX INSTALL

Install your Linux distribution as you normally would.

If you see a black window with the UTM logo in it for a few minutes, be patient - your Linux installer will start after the checksum is verified. Some distributions validate the checksum of the DVD first.

In the UTM window for your VM, select Browse from the CD/DVD drop-down box, select the Linux DVD ISO from your Downloads folder to insert it into the removable drive, and then click the large Play icon to start your VM.

On the Network tab, select Bridged (Advanced) from the Network Mode drop-down box to ensure that your VM appears as a separate system on your network alongside macOS and then click Save.

At this point, your screen should look like this:

Click New Drive again, select the Removeable checkbox to create a USB drive (that we’ll later attach to the Linux DVD ISO you downloaded earlier).

Ensure that VirtIO is displayed in the Interface drop-down box, and type 127 in the Size dialog box (for a dynamically expanding virtual hard drive that uses up to 127 GB of storage).

For a Linux server without a graphical desktop (e.g., Ubuntu Server), specify 1024 to give your VM 1GB (1024 MB) of memory.

For Linux with a graphical desktop (e.g., Fedora Workstation), specify 4096 to give your VM 4 GB (4096 MB) of memory.

On the System tab, select ARM64 (aarch64) from the Architecture drop-down box and specify the amount of memory you’d like to give your VM in the Memory dialog box.

On the Information tab, supply an appropriate name and select Operating System from the Style drop-down box.

Open UTM and click + to create a new VM and click Start from Scratch.

Download the free version of UTM and copy it to your Applications folder.

Next, you can perform the following steps to create a Linux server VM using UTM:

If you just want to host a server (no graphical desktop), I recommend Ubuntu Server as it will likely be the same one hosting your services and web apps in the cloud.ĭownload the DVD ISO image for the latest Fedora Workstation (aarch64) or download the DVD ISO image for the latest Ubuntu Server (ARM).įigure 1: ARM-based Linux distribution in UTM.

If you need a graphical desktop, I recommend the latest version of Fedora Workstation (shown below in UTM).

To get started, you should first download an ARM-based Linux distribution.

MAC ON LINUX HOW TO

How to Create a Linux Server VM Using UTM In short, UTM allows you to run ARM-based Linux VMs very fast on the M1 platform for free. However, if you run an ARM version of Linux in UTM, QEMU will run it directly on the M1 at near native speed.īetter yet, the VirtIO storage bus used by QEMU and the Linux kernel can access the underlying storage in the Mac at near native speed. If you run an Intel version of Linux in UTM, QEMU will translate the Intel instructions to run on the M1, and there will be a noticeable performance cost. UTM leverages the native hypervisor framework in macOS alongside the open source quick emulator (QEMU) framework that is used for virtualizing operating systems on Linux.

MAC ON LINUX LICENSE

Instead of buying an expensive Parallels or VMWare Fusion license to run a VM of Linux (slowly) on the M1, you can use the free Universal Turing Machine (UTM) app. Luckily, the most common VM that an IT systems administrator or developer will install is Linux, and ARM versions of Linux have been common for well over a decade now. And while it’s possible to run virtual machines of both Windows and Linux operating systems made for the Intel platform on the M1, the performance cost of translating Intel instructions to ARM is high (even with the optimizations Apple has within their M1 CPU). One of the biggest worries that IT pros have regarding Apple’s new ARM-based M1 platform is the ability to run virtual machines (VMs) of other operating systems using hypervisor software.

MAC ON LINUX SOFTWARE

Whether you're learning the Linux operating system, using Linux to manage your server fleet in the cloud, performing a cybersecurity penetration test using Linux tools or testing the web apps you’ve created on a Linux server, you can do it at near-native speed without costly software on an M1-based Mac system.
