Why UTM VMs so slow compared to Parallel Desktop on my Intel MacBook (programming.dev)

Hi, I'm using a MacBook Pro 2018, and I'm dipping my toes into virtual machine, tried VirtualBox and then moved to QEMU with UTM after some recommendation on YouTube saying KVM is just better.

However, my Windows 10 virtual machine created with UTM is so slow and laggy. Then I tried the Parallel Desktop, which is propriety and the performance is so much better. Why is that?

I don't want to use a propriety paid program for VM, so I want to ask how to improve performance on UTM or any open-source alternative that gives the performance on par with one on parallel desktop.

Thanks for your help!

Hi guys, it's my new blog post on managing snippets with a TUI program called Nap. I know it not addressing Neovim specifically, but writing code in the terminal in general, and I'm requesting Tmux community btw. Hope you find the blog useful.

Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] howarddo@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I just hope lemmy instances are more searchable like reddit. That would kill any usage of reddit for me for sure

Good for him, I personally think null-ls should be a core functionality rather than a plugin.

macros not working, stopping in the middle of execution in c/neovim@programming.dev
[–] howarddo@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

If you suspect plugins break your macros, do a binary chop disable plugins until you find the culprit. That's what I usually do.

Understand the basics: buffers, windows and tabs (blog.sanctum.geek.nz)

If you are like me, chances are you used Neovim for a period of time without knowing the basics. The notion of buffers windows and tabs in Vim is quite different from other IDEs/code editors. I suggest you read through this and this Stackoverflow answer to get some understanding of this matter.

Nix - An universal package manager (nixos.org)

I think the main pain point of distro hopping is learning a new package manager, I discovered Nix a while ago, it works on every single OS, has the biggest package repo out there. I replaced Homebrew on my mac with it. If this piques your interest, give it a go. Later, you can integrate with Home-manager to manage all of your program config to have a reproducible dev environment on any machine, as described in the tutorial here.

The catch is it's really advanced and got steep learning curve. You can adopt gradually tho. Just get started with nix-shell and nix-env
