Since we're here. What do people use when they need to test their software installs well on naked Ubuntu Server of some version? To not do manual setup in VMWare, can be Linux-only.

UTM isn’t made for running games. Which game do you want to run? And which Mac do you have? If you have a Apple Silicon powered Mac (M1 or M2) check out Apple Silicon Games. If you have a Intel Mac you can always use bootcamp. Source: almost 2 years ago
