It works great for my needs. I mostly develop infrastructure automation and configuration tooling and I run all my VMs in terminal mode. The wide availability of arm64 distros and OSes makes this easy.
I also use it to run a tiny pi hole instance when I'm traveling.
That's such a good idea. I used to run one using a raspberry pi, which got lost during the house move, so would love to do that.
Is is better than running it via Docker, e.g. from the resource usage pov? Do you have any good resources/tutorial to share?
PS. In pre-Apple Silicon times I used it to play with old versions of Windows, but now DosBox seems like a better choice for Win 3.11 or 95.
