Thanks to the work of @agraf, @KhaosT, @imbushuo, and others, we have Virtualization.framework working on M1 Macs. These [changes][1] have been merged with QEMU v5.2.0 RC3 (will rebase once the final release is out) and integrated with UTM, a brand new QEMU frontend designed in SwiftUI for iOS 14 and macOS 11.
Here is easy steps to try Windows 10 on ARM or Ubuntu for ARM64 on your Apple Silicon Mac. Enjoy!
NOTE: that this is current, 10/1/2021 state.
In this tutorial, we will setup GUI in WSL2, and access it using VNC. No additional software outside WSL (like VcXsrv) is required, except, of course, a VNC Viewer (RealVNC, TightVNC, TigerVNC, UVNC, etc, all of them might work flawlessly).
The key component we need to install is tigervnc-standalone-server.
For this setup, I will use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa, unfortunately 22.04 does not work), and install GNOME Desktop. Since the key components aren't bound to Ubuntu or GNOME, you can use your favorite distro and GUI. Check the Sample screenshots section for examples.
So let's go. First, we need a working WSL2 installation.
