Emulation on Parallels

Emulation on Parallels Desktop 17

Recently Parallels Desktop released version 17, which will utilize Rosetta2 for emulating x86_64.

I had to try it and I usually use Fedora Silverblue as my main OS, along side macOS. How ever, as I found out by trying and testing; only Debian-based Linux distros was supported. Parallels Desktop claims that they will also support Fedora, Red Hat and more later, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

Updating Fedora Silverblue with Ansible Playbook
