How to effectively use a MacBook M1 to run a dev workstation? I'd want to use browser and IDE in the VM as well as run a bunch of servers, relays, agents, and a local model.
Best I got so far is using UTM to virtualize a macOs or Fedora arm64 workstation.
Performance seem okay. Mac was easier to use, but both didn't do great with gui.
Aside from cloning the VM right after os installation, I also think about automating the os configuration using nix.
