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

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

How do I improve on borrow checker skills? (programming.dev)
 

Hi guys, I'm a soydev trying to learn rust. It's hard, especially with the references, ownership, the compiler goes crazy every time and I just throw all the references, dereference until it stops. I'm not used to it coming from JS. Do you have some resource, tips to improve on this? Thank you very much. Side note: what is your first project in rust? And what are some interesting open-source rust projects, you go to learn from/ contribute to?

Why do you personally prefer using an Android phone? in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] howarddo@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I dont mind using iphone over android, it's just that Apple make it so damn hard to build an app for iOS (require Xcode on macOS only) and not allow sideloading app, like hello? I'm the one who own the phone here. So I stick with android, and think anybody who like to tinker with their setup and is a little tech savy should not use Iphone. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

What are some of your recommendations for books, videos, podcasts, or any other media that inspire and spark more passion for programming and computer science in general? I'm interested in hearing how these resources have helped you grow as a programmer.
