x86 Parallels LinuxCNC VM

I beg to disagree.

Running Linuxcnc in a VM will be no different if it's arm based or x86 based.

In actual fact running Linuxcnc on real a x86 (amd64) platform or a real ARM (ie RPi4 or 5) platform is the same. Apart from hardware that is specific to each platform.

Linuxcnc can not be used for realtime inside a VM. Simualtion is fine.

Now, anything to do with Parallels isn't a Linuxcnc issue. Maybe if you tried a Mac forum and asked politely, someone may want to perform this task for you. Like "Can someone with an Intel Mac create a x86 Linuxcnc VM for me to use on my Arm based Mac." That would have made life easier if you have had just asked that to begin with.

Yeah I not too sure what that means other than this whole thread is a "you issue" and you need to learn to ask better questions, although I can understand the frustration if the mess that is the English language is not your native tongue.
Now from my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong, you would like to run Linuxcnc in a Parallels VM. Now if this is the case it will not be a real-time capable setup.
Now if it possible to install a Debian arm installation in your VM that would be an option.
Now if you have to have an x86 VM you may need to try other options to get this done for you.

Ok "Sim mode" or simulation mode is that you are not running in a usable real-time environment.
There having Linuxcnc, the OS image/installation run in a VM means that it will be "Sim mode". If you run a latency test it will be horrible.
Now if the arm install was uninspiring, I doubt very much an arm processor on the Mac emulating x86 instructions will be any better.

Now "you're wrong" as a reply helps no one, and we end up playing a back and forth game trying extract information from one another.
No if you happen to have the same experience on different forums, I would do what I do when repairing various devices and swapping parts out. It may be helpful to look at the common dominator.
As this forum doesn't have DM or direct messaging.......

Obtain a Parallels VM of LinuxCNC created on an Intel Mac.
