UPDATE 2: A non-public (not on their main website) release of the arm64 Desktop version is now available on the daily-live folder:
https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/jammy/daily-live/current/jammy-desktop-arm64.iso
Your mileage may vary, but it could perhaps work outright as this other user has indicated.
Some were confused, here's a complete screencast of the process outlined below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56n2q6-MXX8
- Download the ARM64 Server edition from: https://ubuntu.com/download/server/arm
- Install with the ISO when creating a new guest/vm in Parallels 17
- Update System
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgradethensudo reboot - Login and install:
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop - Reboot (
sudo reboot) - Parallels Tools Installation: two options
Use Menubar:
- Menubar → Actions → Install Parallels Tools
- Install via shell:
cd /media/USERNAME/Parallels\ Tools sudo ./install sudo reboot
Use ISO: mount Parallels ARM64 tools ISO and install:
- Note: initially I installed Parallels Tools before installing the graphical user interface, but if you install it after the installation of
ubuntu-desktopor evenkde-standard/full/whateverthen copy paste, etc. functionality will also be installed.
- CD-ROM: "Connect image..."
- Navigate to
/Applications/and change to List view - Expand
Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/Tools/ - Select and Open
prl-tools-lin-arm.iso - Execute:
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/ cd /media/ sudo ./install # allow it to install appropriate tools sudo reboot

- Success:
DOCKER:
There was a question below about whether or not Docker can work with Ubuntu 22.04 on Apple Silicon. The answer is YES. The catch or hang up that people are hitting is when they try to use "Docker Desktop" on Ubuntu (instead of directly on macOS). This tries to run a nested virtualization scenario and Apple does not have this instruction set available on the M1 series of Apple Silicon devices. The key, however, is to just use Docker itself with something like a tutorial from here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-docker-on-ubuntu-22-04
You'll then notice that after you successfully set it up and run docker run hello-world that it does work. Furthermore you can do install distributions like Alpine and run them:
$ docker pull alpine
$ docker run -it alpine
/ # ls
bin dev etc home lib media mnt opt proc root run sbin srv sys tmp usr var
/ # exit
$ docker image ls
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE

hello-world latest 46331d942d63 7 weeks ago 9.14kB
$ docker system prune -a --volumes
WARNING! This will remove:

- all networks not used by at least one container
- all volumes not used by at least one container
- all images without at least one container associated to them
- all build cache

- Be on a M1 Mac - I'm using a Pro with 16gb RAM.
- Have Parallels Desktop installed - not from Mac app store in my case. I don't think the version downloaded from the Parallels site matters, I have the one above basic, but I think that just gets you more RAM.
- Download the Jammy Jellyfish Daily Build:
- Create new vm using the iso.
- I didn't go with the automatic install option from Parallels. Not sure if it works the other way. Installed, rebooted, boot sequence froze after it couldn't find cd/dvd. I think I hit enter and it worked, or I restarted it somehow.
- Performed the following that I saw from the another post on this page:
- CD-ROM: "Connect image..."
- Navigate to /Applications/ and change to List view
- Expand Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/Tools/
- Select and Open prl-tools-lin-arm.iso
- Execute: sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/ cd /media/ sudo ./install
- allow it to install appropriate tools sudo reboot
- Worked for me!
- Now where are all the arm apps? Hopefully, they get ported over time.
- Side note, I tried really hard to get this working for Fedora 36, but couldn't get Parallels Tools to work.
- Bonus note, the speed of the system is much much faster using a M1 Mac vs 2020 mac mini with 32gb of RAM on x86 architecture. I figured they would be similar, but I was wrong. M1 is crushing it. Best of luck!

This works fine with QEMU (source https://medium.com/@joachim8675309/vagrant-with-macbook-mx-arm64-0f590fd7e48a):
# create configuration file for arm64 vm image
cat <<EOF > Vagrantfile
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "perk/ubuntu-2204-arm64"
config.vm.provider "qemu" do |qe|
qe.ssh_port = "50022" # change ssh port as needed
end
end
EOF
download and startup VM using hvf
vagrant up --provider=qemu
log into the VM
vagrant ssh
-1
I was successful running the command below:
docker run --platform linux/arm64 -p 52022:22 --name arm64 -v /Users/my_username:/home/my_username -v /tmp/:/tmp -it ubuntu:22.04
