The primary reason for interest in Linux on Apple silicon is the knowledge that Apply always abandons its users, leaving them without updates to the system or security. Therefore, virtual Linux is completely out, because it will still be running on top of Mac OS, without system upgrades and in particular, without security. The PURPOSE of Linux on Apple silicon for most all users, is to keep a viable and secure machine after Apple predictably betrays them. Linux on Apple silicon will not be viable until it can run native and until at least two or three major distros, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc., will run just as well on Apple silicon as on x86.
Virtual Machines are like the ‘spiderman pointing’ at eachother meme, just virtual processes pointing at other virtual processes 😂. Always nice to use to test pilot a distribution.
Hehe -- indeed! It can be nice to have something that just works, and I also understand the problem things like Docker solve. The problem however is when the expectation is that delivering an entire docker file (or operating system!) becomes a better solution than the binary or source of the application -- that's usually a sign the build system or dependencies have gotten out of hand :)

@@MikeShah I am a Ubuntu user and running/testing Debian-12 on VirtualBox. However, I am also running/testing Debian-12 on VirtualBox (Windows) and UTM (Mac Silicon). The early UTM versions were awful, but the current version works like a charm. Recently, I upgraded to MacOS Sequoia, and some minor problems occurred. E.g., Malwarebytes does work properly. And I could not run Jekyll (Ruby) on Debian-12 (UTM). I came to this video to find out how to solve my problems while trying to install Debian-12 on VirtualBox (Silicon). Here is my problem list: * I can not click to turn off Warning Messages when the VirtualBox console appears. The cursor disappears when hovering over the VirtualBox console. * I can not save the OVA file. Sequoia denies it, I guess.
@@JohnnieWalkerGreen Hmm, for the first bit there's a shortcut to make the mouse appear/disappear (It looks like right control from this thread: superuser.com/questions/694155/mouse-disappear-in-virtualbox). I'm not sure on the second part -- maybe need to be a super user or 'trust/whitelist' virtualbox in privacy & settings?
After 3 Hours of searching I finally found this video. Just what I needed you earned a sub.
Cheers! Welcome to the community!
finally indeed! checking the changelog for virtualbox and version 7.1 with macos/ARM support was released just 1 month ago!
@@rudolfolah7773 They had some preview edition for a while,.took it out, and I guess just got in the final touches 😁
Virtualization i heard about in 2000; but never try to use it until i switch my journey from mathematic to computing

I keep getting a blank screen with I try to run it
Hmm, maybe try a previous version of Virtual Box? What Apple Silicon and OS are you running?
@@MikeShah The same is happening to me. I got a M2 Sequoia 15.2
@@ferraz.96 Hmm, and you both are using the ARM version of ubuntu?
@@MikeShah exactly the way you instructed and I couldn't find an old version of the Virtual Box.
Try this for M2:,

from General:
Name: Ubuntu

I'd recommend UTM! :)

UTM is a bit more stable, and supports pass-thru (e.g., ARM Linux for improved performance ) as well as X86 emulation.
However, there are still issues; I use UTM on my M1 for demoing Windows PowerShell for my students. Switching screens (for an USB-C attached beamer) induces flickering…
UTM had some serious limitations when I last ran it a few years ago.
@@bobweiram6321 give it a try; should “work better ™️” now
I have some problems with Sequoia. Therefore, I am not sure why VirtualBox does not work. Will try later again.
Let us know if you find a good fix!

I couldn't find the ARM64 ISO, if anyone found it, can you link it please?
See at about 5:45 where I show you how to search for the ARM version (URL displayed in video)
@@MikeShah there is no 22.04 desktop version for arm64 now, I couldn't able to find.

What about vagrant?
Also…saw your pop up when I entered the chat. I see you believe in censorship!
I'll have to look at vagrant, haven't used it in a bit. What pop up are you referring to?
