x86 Parallels LinuxCNC VM

That would have been how to ask for what you wanted. Concise and to the point.
Maybe someone on a Mac forum or similar could provide one, tho I would ask for a Debian bookworm image, as asking for a Linuxcnc image might lead to answers you don't want.

Is it still possible to import VirtualBox virtual machines into Parallels ? And is it possible to import an x86 VirtualBox VM into Parallels running on an Arm based Mac.
Or step over to the dark side and obtain a 2nd hand T series Lenovo laptop. T530 work quite well. Easier to transport from your workshop, office, ivory tower or wherever.

I doubt that would have helped. You know as well as I do that the conversation would have gone pretty much exactly as this one has: completely irrelevant advice that has nothing to do with the question.

I would have had the same conversation anywhere else.

No. Ask me how I know!

I already mentioned two PCs that I already own.

I just want to add that my experience so far, after buying a Mesa board and attempting to set up a LinuxCNC control on a router has been absurd. The Mesa board seems okay, and well made, but the culture around LinuxCNC is confusing. Before engineering school, I was a CNC programmer and I admired the Heidenhain TNC640 controls our dozens of Hermle 5-axis machines ran on. I started to understand what all the fuss was about Linux. But LinuxCNC is whole other animal. It feels more like a Masonic Temple than software. I just want to optimize running a machine that I bought, and has very common components, but because of how awful the documentation is, the forum is mandatory. But this forum is not great. Sorry!

Stop being a spherical bastard and your experience may improve. Myself and others have tried to help but you have been narcissistic, quoting your own posts, just plain arrogant, acted like a petulant child, when asked if you wanted to run Linuxcnc in a VM you said I was wrong.
By your admission you have had issues on other forums, you are the issue, you appear to educated above and beyond your ability for reasonable thought.

Try a different CNC controller Masso and Centroid have good reviews, be their problem not ours.

Yeah I know this breaks the CoC but you break the code of being reasonable.

Furthermore the support Pete Wallace gives regarding Mesa product far surpasses that of any other business. So far so that not only does he not mind if the firmware is used on Dev boards but he actually helps with any questions regarding the code.
Tommy's knowledge and practical implementation of linuxcnc\mesa boards is astounding. There are many many others as well.

On a side note, I'm a civil labourer \ traffic controller. By reading the Mesa manuals, the Linuxcnc docs and asking the odd question I've had no trouble setting up my machine. So I can honestly say that there is no conspiracy to withhold any information, it's all available and many times you haven't been the first one to have a particular issue.
It is not the Linuxcnc ecosystem that is the issue. It's an attitude issue on your side. It's about time for some self reflection on your behalf.
The fact you would compare an open source project that maybe an odd 20 years old to commercial systems that have add unknown amounts of money used and many many years of presence in the industry is beyond absurd it is evidence of a lack of understanding.
So stop being a dill and put something constructive back in or buy a proprietary turnkey solution and pay for extended support package.
Be useful not a hindrance.

I can't help being spherical. I was born that way.

@fully_defined
I'm sorry but I have grown tired of your antics. You have already been asked to leave once before and as you have stated ad nauseam that this forum has not been able to meet your expectations I would like to invite you again to find other places to seek whatever you are looking for.
