In addition to the limitations listed below for Ventura, Virtio support in Monterey hosts and guests isn’t as complete as in Ventura. It also lacks support for GUI Linux guests, as the Virtio ‘Scanout’ Graphics Device required isn’t available to Monterey hosts. MacOS 12 Monterey can host macOS Monterey and later, and command-line Linux systems, but with significant limitations. Lightweight virtualisation doesn’t support macOS 11 Big Sur either as a guest or host, except for command-line Linux systems (also supported on Intel Macs), and even those have severe constraints on the devices they have access to. If you want to run Windows, your current choice is between Parallels Desktop and UTM. Lightweight virtualisation has no support for running Windows at all, even Windows for ARM, but only supports macOS and Linux guests.

Throughout this article, I’ll refer to the version of macOS running on the Mac itself as the host, and the operating system running in the virtual machine (VM) as the guest. macOS Monterey includes support for lightweight virtualisation of macOS and Linux guests, and this article explains its current limitations. Each has its own limitations, but they’re substantial apps.
If you want to run virtualised operating systems on an Apple silicon Mac, you can opt for one of the heavyweights such as Parallels Desktop (commercial), VMware Fusion (still not fully released), or UTM (cheap through the App Store).
