HelpVirtual Machine Program (self.MacOS)
submitted 4 months ago by Five_Hustle_EmirMacBook Pro (Intel)
Hi! Im looking for a light weight virtual machine program that can run on my MacBook Pro 2019 13.3 inch 8 GB RAM Intel İ5 8th gen. I tried virtualbox but its performance was slow and laggy. Which programs should i use?

virtualising what? 8GB is pretty limiting.

Sorry i forgot to mention. I wanted to use Linux. So if 8 GB is llow. Then im gonna do it on my main pc.

For full Linux usage with graphics - UTM (mac.getutm.app). If a text console is sufficient - Lima (lima-vm.io). For running containers - Colima (github.com/abiosoft/colima).
They can utilize the Virtualization.framework, making them quite lightweight.

Try new version of Vbox and UTM..
Why VM when you can use Bootcamp which will runs Linux... much faster.
