Running mac os13 VM on a mac os13 host on a M2 chip machine - can that be done?

[jura-au]

I need to be able to access two segregated users (company policy requirements) on a regular basis throughout the day. I was hoping to use a VM for one of them. I tried parallels, but their system works very poorly on M1/M2 - many basic features are missing (like sharing devices etc).

Does anyone know or have experience of setting up a MAC Ventura guest on a mac ventura host?

I’ve done something similar to what you’re describing on my Macbook pro m1 with 32GB of RAM. In terms of RAM, my experience is that the best configuration is to give less to the VM and leave more on the host, which is sort of counterintuitive in a way, but it does make sense because after all, if you’d just normally use your Mac, you’d never push it to 100% RAM or disk usage. So leaving some reserves is key, but aside from that, go crazy, you’ll be surprised by how much the m1 chip can handle.
