On January 10, 2007, Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac was awarded “Best in Show” at MacWorld 2007. Parallels agreed: “ Since we've got a great Mac product, we should make it look and sound like a Mac product.”, it was therefore renamed ‘Parallels Desktop for Mac’. This name was not well received within the Mac community, where some felt that the name, particularly the term “workstation,” evoked the aesthetics of a Windows product. Its name initially was ' Parallels Workstation for Mac OS X', which was consistent with the company's corresponding Linux and Windows products. Released on June 15, 2006, it was the first software product to bring mainstream virtualization to Macintosh computers utilizing the Apple–Intel architecture (earlier software products ran PC software in an emulated environment). is a developer of desktop and server virtualization software. 2.4.1.5 macOS Server guest operating system.

This is far from the dream of simply dual-booting Linux on an M1 Mac, and you might be better off using Parallels or other virtual machines (when they’re ready) to run other operating systems. Suffice it to say you won’t want to try this if you absolutely depend on your Mac for work. You can repeat the process, but you’ll need at least a 16GB USB drive and more than a little comfort with command line interfaces and recovery modes. Corellium not only had to create a pre-load “wrapper,” but find an alternative just to attach USB peripherals to the machine. While the M1 is a 64-bit ARM chip, the solution was anything but straightforward and will require some extra steps if you want to try it yourself.Īpple processors have a unique kernel boot, multi-core addressing and interrupt controller, among other non-standard tech that Linux doesn’t normally support. As AppleInsider noted, the team at Corellium has outlined how it ported Ubuntu Linux to the M1 chip. Yes, you can natively run operating systems beyond macOS on Apple’s M1 Macs - if you’re willing to put in some extra work.
