WARNING WARNING WARNING! Danger, Will Robinson extreme danger! (Of course, if you can get everything you need from Docker, you don't need any of these VM packages). Smooth, easy to configure, stable it even lets you run a virtual system like Docker properly in a VM (by supporting CPU virtualisation instructions). VMware is what you want to run those "alternative" Linuxes, or any Linux, really. It's easy to run into corner cases with Linux, though, especially if you're not using a Debian- or Red Hat-based distro. Parallels is, hands down, the easiest/fastest/best (pick any four) way to run Windows on a Mac. Avoid if you value your time above ~$0.30/hour you'll save money-for-time this year. I didn't find Slackware performance acceptable even on a then-new-and-shiny MBP with maxed-spec RAM and CPU speed. I've used all three in (recent) versions past, and Fusion up until about six months ago.Īs others have noted, VirtualBox is glacially slow.
