Installing the virtualization apps is similar to any other Mac app. Like the other virtualization apps, VirtualBox can be used to run many different operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. This free virtualization app runs on multiple computer systems, including Mac. Fusion supports the installation of many different operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. Parallels supports a wide range of guest OS, including Windows, Linux, and Mac. There are three primary virtualization apps for Mac:
But unlike Boot Camp, both the Mac operating system and the guest operating system run at the same time. As a result, the guest operating system running on the virtual machine does not run as fast as in Boot Camp. Virtualization on the Mac makes use of a software layer called a hypervisor to emulate all of the underlying hardware.
Virtualization abstracts the hardware layer, making it look like each operating system has its own processor, RAM, graphics, and storage. Virtualization allows several operating systems to run on computer hardware at the same time.
Performance tuning and customization needed to achieve the best performance.
