x86 Parallels LinuxCNC VM

This time you can blame it on me as if i recall correctly, Parallels is the software running on Apple hardware and makes it possible to run other operating systems in it, in short running virtual machines.
If that is correct, then all my answers are on point, it should run any ISO without making images on other hardware, that is the whole point of it.
Then again, it is Apple, so maybe only runs ARM stuff?

Its great that you acknowldge that responsibility for the receiving of a message rests with the sender!

None of us know anything about Parallels. People have succesfully installed Linuxcnc on apple hardware from an ISO but the machine no longer runs macOS

You can't run a CNC machine from a VM because it requires a real time operating system (eg runs PREEMPT_RT kernel) 
For testing and experimenting, I would install Debian 13 (aka Trixie) using a CD ISO from  cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/
Drilling down to AMD64 cd-iso, it looks like there is a Mac version
cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/

Be sure you are connected to a wired internet connection before running the installer
When installing Debian, ensure you install the XFCE or mate desktop (our ISO uses XFCE)
to install Linuxcnc then all you have to do is type:

Both links I included explain in explicit detail why I need someone with an Intel Mac and Parallels to create a VM on that hardware for me load into my Apple Silicon Mac. It was, and still is, all that I need to try out x86 emulation in Parallels 20.2.

As you'll only be able to run in simulation mode and you just want to get familar with Linuxcnc an arm install will be fine.

After doing a quick read I'd research the following:
Is Debian Bookworm able to be run. The kernel versions and X server versions seem to be limited.
Is the Kernel version that is on the Linuxcnc iso compatitable ?

What you're suggesting has absolutely nothing to do with what I asked for.

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.
