![]() The instructions have been removed from the Companion Guide as of version 12. Note that building from ISOs from and installing a VM from Windows 11 ARM Insider Preview VHDX files are now considered deprecated. Update on ETA of fix for Ubuntu 22.10 kernel issues.Minor change to Windows 11 ARM installation procedure, eliminating the reboot of the VM while installing VMware drivers.Procedure for installing Fedora 36 from ISO has been moved to Appendix B as Fedora 36 is now End of Life.Added section on how to fix errors encountered while installing the iCloud app from Microsoft Store on Windows 11 ARM.This issue has been fixed for some time now, and users are unlikely to encounter it. Removed section that described kernel issues with Tumbleweed updates.Added section for a VMware KB article that describes guest OS requirements for Fusion on Apple Silicon.Added section on where to find VMware Fusion product documentation.Appendix B and Appendix C have been removed since user installation of open-source utilities are no longer required.Users are no longer required to install open-source utilities, MacPorts/Homebrew or Xcode to convert the Microsoft ESD to ISO. MAJOR CHANGE: Updated procedures for ISO creation from Microsoft ESD using version 3.0 of w11arm_esd2iso.Make sure you are using version 3.0.1 of w11arm_esd2iso. Version 17 has been re-published as the problems with the w11arm_esd2iso utility have been fixed. The manual that VMware didn't publish and the one that you will need. The Unofficial Fusion 13 for Apple Silicon Companion Guide Lots of people are trying lots of things out there.Using inspiration from (and with apologies to) David Pogue's 'Missing Manual" series, I humbly present: The community seems to be able to react much more quickly to provide this kind of information. Ideally VMware should have a tech note about this. I also expect the upcoming 23.04 interim release to install without issue based on what I’m seeing in the development builds.Īt the speeds at which ARM64 distros are moving, any in-product guidance about “well known and working distributions” would be out of date very quickly. I expect the next 22.04 LTS update installers to include the kernel they are providing as an update to installed 22.04 systems - which fixes the bugs that are giving you the blank screen problem. Although Ubuntu has gotten better recently. They seemingly took forever to address issues that the other distros did. Most recently released arm64 distro versions don’t need you to jump through a lot of hoops to get them to run. The newer releases of most distros today have way fewer issues than those of 15 months ago. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last year plus of testing Linux distros on a fusion running on ARM64 architectures is that arm64 is maturing at a rapid pace. That’s on the distros (Ubuntu was one of the laggards in getting the fixes into their kernels). Those Linux “valid guest OSs” that don’t install cleanly in most cases have older kernels that have bugs. ![]() Don't think 13 is ready for prime time if you have to jump through hoops to simply install a valid guest OS.Ĭonsider adding a "install from well known and working OS" type prompt/feature in the app. ![]()
