Comment on Show HN: Lume – OS lightweight CLI for MacOS and Linux VMs on Apple Silicon

Comments

I wish it was possible to run a Debian VM on iOS.

For laptops, there are many nice options. But for tablets, the latest iPads are currently unmatched at under 600 grams for a 13" tablet. So I would love to use one of those.

You can, with ish (https://ish.app). It is a bit slow though and doesn't support the newest releases. (Well and by default it runs Alpine instead of Debian)

I was very curious but it looks like UTM is unable to JIT properly on newer iOS versions. They might want a desktop Debian with better performance.

But you can with UTM, don't you?

I’d check out multipass from canonical. IIRC you can specify the image it uses.
