$10 for a GUI.

Is this comment supposed to indicate that’s expensive? A fast food meal to support the development of an intuitive GUI wrapper around a piece of software I may use for hours on end? There’s also a free download on their website.

What a deal! Id gladly pay for a nice GUI that manages things and makes configuration easy. My time is worth way more than $10.

Also, “Purchasing the App Store version directly funds the development of UTM and shows your support.”

that GUI which gives you like 10% exposure to all supported qemu and apple virtualization layer features won't make your configuration easy.

I'd prefer to fund to fund projects like qemu itself. Not some feature incomplete GUI sitting on top of qemu.

It's both free and open source (https://github.com/utmapp/UTM). You can pay 10$ to get automatic updates, which IMHO is a very fair price and you are helping support the project.
