Why UTM VMs so slow compared to Parallel Desktop on my Intel MacBook (programming.dev)

Hi, I'm using a MacBook Pro 2018, and I'm dipping my toes into virtual machine, tried VirtualBox and then moved to QEMU with UTM after some recommendation on YouTube saying KVM is just better.

However, my Windows 10 virtual machine created with UTM is so slow and laggy. Then I tried the Parallel Desktop, which is propriety and the performance is so much better. Why is that?

I don't want to use a propriety paid program for VM, so I want to ask how to improve performance on UTM or any open-source alternative that gives the performance on par with one on parallel desktop.

Thanks for your help!

Comic Sans is the answer.

Can't remember the name of that one command line tool? Next time, add a comment! by howarddo in c/commandline@programming.dev

Nice tip, I will start doing it from now on. I recommend Atuin to keep and sync the shell history, although I don't like its default bindings.

Hi guys, it's my new blog post on managing snippets with a TUI program called Nap. I know it not addressing Neovim specifically, but writing code in the terminal in general, and I'm requesting Tmux community btw. Hope you find the blog useful.

Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny? by howarddo in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I just hope lemmy instances are more searchable like reddit. That would kill any usage of reddit for me for sure

Good for him, I personally think null-ls should be a core functionality rather than a plugin.

macros not working, stopping in the middle of execution by howarddo in c/neovim@programming.dev
[-] howarddo@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

If you suspect plugins break your macros, do a binary chop disable plugins until you find the culprit. That's what I usually do.

How do I improve on borrow checker skills? (programming.dev)

Hi guys, I'm a soydev trying to learn rust. It's hard, especially with the references, ownership, the compiler goes crazy every time and I just throw all the references, dereference until it stops. I'm not used to it coming from JS. Do you have some resource, tips to improve on this? Thank you very much. Side note: what is your first project in rust? And what are some interesting open-source rust projects, you go to learn from/ contribute to?

Understand the basics: buffers, windows and tabs (blog.sanctum.geek.nz)

If you are like me, chances are you used Neovim for a period of time without knowing the basics. The notion of buffers windows and tabs in Vim is quite different from other IDEs/code editors. I suggest you read through this and this Stackoverflow answer to get some understanding of this matter.

Tomorrow many subreddits will open up again, will you switch back to Reddit or stay on Lemmy (or use both) by howarddo in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world
[-] howarddo@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

just come back to reddit and tell people to move here guys. Other than that, just add reddit to google search to get better result, that's it. I wish lemmy will have better SEO in the future.
