I used this a couple of weeks ago to install Windows 11 ARM on macOS (Ventura on a new M2), looking to replace Fusion. It was disappointing:
* Integration tools like copy/paste between VM and host, or file sharing, didn't work
* Graphics constantly glitched, often going to a grey screen. There seemed no way to recover, and I had to force restart the VM
The drivers / assistant tools have a 2012 date on them.
I'm aware it's a free product and I have no right to expect anything (and I don't; I went back to Fusion.) And perhaps the situation would improve if I or others financially supported the project, which seems a better response to issues :) Nevertheless I went in hoping I could replace the commercial VM solutions, which on Mac have required yearly updates that deliver almost no new value, with something open source -- and I can't yet.
I think the VM has to be switched off, not just suspended for the arguments to be editable. There are also some flags that UTM insists on and won't let you remove, which actually seems kind of reasonable - QEMU is really low-level and it's possible to run it in modes where UTM won't be able to connect to it.
I'm using the Fusion 13 Tech Preview, which has all of those bar file sharing, so I'm just using git to transfer :)
It has one glitch where the screen goes black sometimes when changing apps (maybe a new DirectX context or something), but that's easy to resolve by just resizing the window a few pixels to change the VM resolution. I usually use my VMs fullscreen so this is a slight adjustment to normal, but it's workable until they release Fusion 13's official version.
