"Under the hood of UTM is QEMU" is not the whole truth anymore

Open rxhfcy opened this issue 8 months ago • 0 comments

This is pretty subtle, but the paragraph about QEMU has become potentially misleading (because UTM can now also use Apple Virtualization, not just QEMU anymore):

On the web site, under "QEMU without the headache", it says:

Under the hood of UTM is QEMU, a decades old, free and open source emulation software <clip>

Suggestion:

"Under the hood of UTM is QEMU" can be interpreted to mean that QEMU is the only things that's "under the hood" (not true anymore, because Apple Virtualization can also be used nowadays).

Maybe just say "UTM uses QEMU" or "UTM can be configured to use QEMU emulation" or something (or rewrite the whole paragraph)
