    I have the new MacBook Pro M1 chip and I am using the ARM linux system on it, but I wanted to use the AMD version of linux for coding reasons. how can I use parallels 17 to emulate the AMD version of linux instead of the ARM version, but I hope that running this won't damage the laptop (it has 16 gigs of ram and 8 cores) and won't be too slow, I tried using UTM but its too slow, if you have any suggestions better than parallels it would be helpful too.

    UTM is just an interface for QEMU. It has QEMU running under the hood. So if UTM is slow, QEMU will also be slow.
