HexOS on Apple Silicon with UTM: Success!


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,

 

I successfully installed HexOS using UTM on macOS with an Apple M3 CPU (ARM). UTM, which is built on QEMU, allows you to emulate* a different architecture if you’re running something other than ARM. In this case, it was used to emulate x86_64, which is required for HexOS.

Notes:

• Disable UEFI: Ensure UEFI is disabled in the hypervisor template.

• Use BIOS: During the HexOS installation process, do not enable UEFI; choose BIOS instead.

• Add Pool Drives Later: Pool drives (IDE) were added after the initial setup. If this step is not followed, the deck may not be able to locate the local server.

• App Installation: Apps were added via the TrueNAS interface because the HexOS installation was failing at 60%.

• Hardware Settings:

   • Architecture: x86_64

   • System: Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009) (alias of pc-q35-9.1) (q35)

   • Emulated Display Card: virtio-vga-gl (GPU Supported)

Is this better than VMWare?

Im not sure if VMware allows emulating x86_64 from ARM, I believe not, thats why im using UTM
