I'm using this example project from Apple to create and run linux virtual machines on macOS:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/run...

(Download the example project, build it in Xcode and run it. Point it to a linux .iso and you're good.)

I can stay in macOS for the stuff macOS is good at, and I can use linux for the stuff it's good at.

Is this largely for the exercise? Totally cool if you’re using it to get a better understanding of understanding of macOS’s Virtualization framework, but if your goal is that you were looking for a way to run VMs without Parallels, VMWare or VirtualBox, UTM [1] would be the direction I’d point you in.
