I had a pretty bad experience with running a desktop in UTM. The UTM app itself freezes a lot and has to be force quit, and I think there are issues with the GPU acceleration.

Parallels was a night and day difference in both stability and responsiveness of my desktop. And copy/paste Just Worked as well. Definitely worth the $100/year subscription in my opinion.

For anecdote, I didn't have those issues in a UTM VM on multiple Apple Silicon MacBook Airs.

Having said that, yeah, Parallels performance still wins.
