-**WARNING FOR MAC USERS:** There are [[https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=98763|known issues]] with VirtualBox on MacOS 11.0 ("Big Sur"). If you wish to use a VM on your machine, you should **NOT** upgrade to Big Sur at this time.+**Note for M1 "Apple Silicon" Users:** Since these machines use completely different CPUs, they are incapable of running VirtualBox with the Linux Mint image. The UUG is attempting to make a compatible VM, but its a fast moving target that's difficult to fully test. Mint also isn't released for M1, so this VM uses Ubuntu with the same tools, but a different look than the lab machines. If you'd like to try running a Linux VM on your M1, first download a current version of [[https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/releases|UTM]], and then download the [[https://w3.cs.jmu.edu/uug/testing/|VM image]]. Please send any feedback, positive or negative to [[ripleymj@jmu.edu]].
