<div dir="ltr">That doesn't seem too surprising to me. I have aarch64 Fedora running in UTM on an M1 Mac and it runs very fast. UTM is basically Qemu + Apple's bare metal hypervisor framework, so you'll get almost native speed running an ARM Linux distro. And
macOS isn't a very fast or efficient OS compared to Linux in many ways, which may explain the speed boost running OpenSCAD on Linux at close-to-native speed in a VM on macOS.</div>

There's a thread on the OpenSCAD mailing list talking about a compute-intensive OpenSCAD program that takes 17.5s on an M1 Pro under MacOS, and the same job takes 12s on Ubuntu running in a VM on the same machine.<br>
<br>
Interesting that M1+Linux is much faster.<br>
<br>
Even though Asahi Linux isn't ready yet, someone is running Arch Linux on an M1 macbook pro.<br>
