+Canonical Makes it Easy to Run a Linux VM on Apple M1
+======
+
+Ever since Apple introduced its M1 chips, numerous efforts have been made to run Linux on it.
+
+Even though that is still in progress, Canonical seems to have made it possible to run Linux (Ubuntu) as virtual machines (VMs) on Apple M1.
+
+### Linux VMs on Apple M1
+
+It is convenient for most developers to spin up a Linux VM instance and continue working on their system without interruptions.
+
+Unfortunately, getting a Linux instance up and running on M1 devices is not a straightforward task.
+
+While you have tools like VMware and VirtualBox to create virtual machines, it does not work on ARM-based Apple M1 silicon.
+
+As of now, VMware is slowly adding support for its products to work on Apple M1. However, that is still in closed beta and not feasible for users.
+
+And, when it comes to VirtualBox, it does not support the ARM platform yet and has no plans for it.
+
+So, your best bet to run virtual machines is using parallels or [UTM][1] (free) on macOS. Hence, pretty limited options that give you cross-platform support.
+
+Moreover, you need to purchase a license to use parallels, which could be expensive.
+
+### Canonical’s Multipass 1.8 is a Free Virtual Machine Program With M1 Support
+
+[Multipass][2] is a free VM software that aims to help you create Linux instances on Apple M1 without any hassle.
+
+Canonical [announced][3] the release of their latest Multipass 1.8 that finally adds support for Apple M1, making it the only viable choice as a cross-platform virtual machine software that helps you run Ubuntu Linux.
+
+In the announcement, Canonical product manager Nathan Hart mentions:
+
+> “Canonical wants to get developers running on Linux faster than any other option on the market, and the Multipass team has helped accomplish that.”
+
+Along with the addition of support, Multipass 1.8 also brings in some useful features that include:
+
+  * Aliases to tie commands on the virtual machine to the host OS. In other words, you can run a software in the VM directly from your host OS seamlessly.
+  * Unified cross-platform experience with Windows, Linux, mac OS (Intel/AMD and ARM platform) support.
+
+
+
+Multipass should handle the configuration and let you easily create/maintain a virtual machine on Apple M1. So, you wouldn’t need any manual intervention to make Linux work within an M1-powered macOS machine.
+
+You can find out more about it on their official website.

+
+### Wrapping Up
+
+Considering now that you can use Canonical’s Multipass to spin up a Linux instance on Apple M1, would you consider getting an Apple M1 system for your development work?
+
+Or, do you prefer using parallels to run Linux on M1? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
