: Some users on macOS Catalina 10.15.6 reported system instability and kernel panics when running multiple VMs for extended periods on this version.

: Each VM acts as a full equivalent of a standard x86 computer, mapping physical resources to virtual ones so that each has its own dedicated processor, memory, and I/O devices.

: It provides optimized support for 5K iMac displays and 4K external monitors, including mixed-resolution configurations. System Requirements OS Host : macOS 10.15 or later.

: Designed primarily for macOS Catalina 10.15, it enables the execution of Windows 10 and various Linux distributions as virtual machines (VMs) without requiring a system reboot.

: There is a known bug where changing a disk from SCSI to IDE may not register properly if the VM has already been started, potentially leading to boot failures. Current Status and Availability Fusion keeping Mac awake when closing the lid
