UTM Reviews and details

• Ask HN: Any Recommendations Around Programming on an iPad?

  1. SSH to VPS/homelab server using Termius[1] 2. On jailbroken iPads, UTM[2] VM running x86 linux should run great 3. iSH[3], it was quite sloppy for me, YMMV. [1]: https://termius.com/ [3]: https://apps.apple.com/pl/app/ish-shell/id1436902243. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• iPad Pro M4 review: ludicrously good hardware that's total overkill for most

  I have that Magic Keyboard and would love to have the option to run real Linux via https://getutm.app/. The iPad is fully capable of this, but it is a pain because you have to jailbreak it. Ugh. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Giving up the iPad-only travel dream

  Did anyone try this https://getutm.app, is it possible to install it on a non-jailbroken iPad Pro M2? - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• UTM for Developers

  UTM makes it easy to set up and manage macOS and Windows virtual machines. This can be especially useful for developers such as Tauri contributors who need to test their applications across multiple platforms, or for those looking to experiment with different operating systems without affecting their primary system. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Programming on an iPad

  Is anyone using UTM for programming on an iPad?[1] I was surprised to see in the demos that it appears to perform quite well, considering there's no hardware virtualization support. [1]: https://getutm.app/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Looking for iPad game that is closest to RoN?

  You could run windows in a VM and play RoN: https://getutm.app/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Apple just lost its lawsuit trying to ban iOS virtual machines

  There’s UTM, you’ll have to side load it though https://getutm.app. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• What are you thoughts on the EU Digital markets act that will (most likely) force Apple to allow 3rd party installs?

  And those who actually are advanced users will be able to install something like https://getutm.app/ and run Linux desktop in a virtual machine on iPadOS without jailbreaking and transform it into an actual laptop :). Source: over 1 year ago

• Couldn't afford a new laptop. Had to make do with what I have.

  For the last: UTM + JIT. Unfortunately it’s not on the AppStore, but those utilities will allow you to run any operating system (that doesn’t mean they’ll be useable). I use Debian ARM64 (with LXQt environment) on my iPad mini (A12) which runs fast enough to handle sublime text and one terminal window (but not a web browser ;_;). Some software won’t run on it like PSEint (unless you figure out how to compile it),... Source: over 1 year ago

• UEFI Shell when installing Windows 11?

  Separate but maybe related question--I downloaded the UTM install from getutm.app. Is the install easier if I buy it from the Mac App Store? It's only $10 so I'm happy to buy it. I just wanted to try it first. Source: over 1 year ago

• Culverhouse Microsoft Requirement?

  Another option is to have a windows VM - look at UTM (https://getutm.app/), plenty of install guides to get you up and running. My son has had good success running some odd CS apps this way. Source: over 1 year ago

• So many desktop studies

  If you're using an iPad you could try UTM. UTM is a virtual machine that can run Windows and Linux operating systems. Check the Install page to see if yours is supported. An external mouse and keyboard would be highly recommended to complete the "desktop" experience. Source: over 1 year ago

• iPad Pro doesn’t need a major revamp, but better software

  That's true. And honestly, I might even consider buying a high-end iPad if it shipped with an app like UTM so I could run a Linux VM. That alone would cover so many of the current pain points. Source: over 1 year ago

• [Help] Full screen UNIX console App (tty like) on iOS ?

  Https://getutm.app - full qemu based virtual machine. Has few variants that differ with performance depending on if you’re jailbroken, have jit support enabled or hypervisor available… You can run whole Linux VM and even Win10/11. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Run Homebridge on Linux VM on iPhone?

  Does anyone have experience running Homebridge on a VM on an iPhone? I'm thinking something like https://getutm.app/ to host either a Linux (lightweight) or MacOS on an old iPhone I have. My preference would be to do a Raspberry Pi but as I'm sure everyone knows they are expensive and hard to get at the moment. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How do I play Heroes 3 on iPad

  I don't have any iOS devices but I would start here Https://getutm.app/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• [help] iPhone 14 pro (NON JB) EMULATOR

  Yes. https://getutm.app there are 2 versions, UTM which needs jit and UTM SE which doesn’t need jit, but is slower. Source: almost 2 years ago

• New iPad Pro with M2

  If they would just allow UTM to run, that would be good enough for me. https://getutm.app/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Apple Nears M2 iPad Pro Launch and Plans Google Tablet-Like Home Hub

  Pretty sure you can emulate and virtualize Linux, Windows and etc on an iPad using UTM without jailbreak: https://getutm.app. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Any way to fix this in utm? iPadOS 15.6 beta 1

  Use the normal version and install it with TrollStore https://getutm.app. Source: almost 2 years ago

• [News] TrollStore 1.1 released!

  UTM (for vms), retroarch (game console emulation), PojavLauncher (Minecraft Java), cocoatop64 (task manager), filza (file manager) and uYou+ (YouTube with tweaks). Source: about 2 years ago
