    Parallels 17 issues on M1 Mac with Debian Linux 11 and XFCE

    I bought Parallels 17 to run Linux VMs on my M1 Mac. I installed (from the ISO) Debian 11 Linux with XFCE4 in a VM, and ran into a few issues. These issues do not occur on my x86_64 laptop running the same exact same software natively, so I doubt it's a problem with the distro. I also tried...

    Upgrades to Parallels 17 Standard version?

    I see that buying the Standard (non-subscription) version of Parallels 17 states that "Free upgrade to latest version" is not available. What exactly does this mean? Does it mean that when a 'bug-fix' up-issue of P17 comes out I will not be able to get it? Or will it simply mean that I...
