I recently switched from CrossOver (and wine8) to this virtualized setup using SC ARM on Windows 11 IoT ARM on Parallels 18 on macOS 13. The performance is insane. This makes wine and linux look like garbage, unfortunately. Some quick notes: Historical downloads, for say the past 1000 days, happens literally 4x faster.. I didn't realize before how broken wine's networking stack is? The new setup is consuming literally half of the energy. With wine I can go bell to bell and sacrifice ~40% of my battery on mbp/m2.. with virtualized, even having the burden of carrying an additional operating system, I go bell to bell sacrificing ~18% battery life. On my XPS 17 laptop running a completely barebones Archlinux with tiling window manager.. I couldn't make it through the trading day and was having to charge about ~5 hours in! ..even with the dedicated graphics completely disabled. Plus there is the benefit of true native controls and compatibility of the authentic WinAPI. It simply looks and reacts better. The theoretical downside is you allocate ~2gb of memory to the guest OS but in practice I haven't even noticed. I hope Engineering continues to distribute the ARM binaries. I'm a fan!
