Parallels has a bad desktop user experience using Linux because of poor support for continuous scrolling. Lots of users have complained on their forums for years, but they refuse to do anything about it. I bought it for one year, and regretted the experience. It works well with Windows though.

Generally, the experience with MacOS is mediocre thanks to Apple and their Virtualization Framework, with many basic features missing for years.

This is ironic, considering Parallels was originally an Apple first product designed specifically for virtualizing Windows and running it's apps "seamlessly" alongside native Mac ones.

Why is it ironic? The parent says that it works well with Windows, which you say is the original use case. Linux has nothing to do with this.

Ah, I may have misread it. I thought they were saying Parallels on Windows runs Linux fine.

But, re-reading it again, your interpretation is probably correct.

Can you elaborate on the continuous scrolling? I've actually never noticed anything off about the scrolling.
