The Virtualization framework can run Linux VMs on a Mac with Apple silicon, and on an Intel-based Mac. The Linux ISO image you download must support the CPU architecture of your Mac.
- A Mac with Apple silicon
- Download a Linux ISO image for ARM, which is usually indicated by aarch64 or arm64 in the image filename.
- An Intel-based Mac
- Download a Linux ISO image for Intel-compatible CPUs, which is usually indicated by x86_64 or amd64 in the image filename.
If you need to run Intel Linux binaries in ARM Linux on a Mac with Apple silicon, the Virtualization framework supports this capability using the Rosetta translation environment in macOS 13 and later. For more information, see Running Intel Binaries in Linux VMs with Rosetta.
