This is cool. Definitely going to test it. Years ago I’ve looked into something like this but found only find xhyve which looked a bit crude.
Ended using Parallels Desktop Lite which to my understanding is a GUI to VF. Used to be free for Linux VMs then they’ve changed to yearly subscriptions. And they charge premium for a year of their glorified virt-manager.
To make things worse their 1 year subscription is blocking me from changing countries on app store. I hate that company to guts now.

No, Parallels has its own hypervisor as a kernel module (mainly used pre-Big Sur) and can use Hypervisor Framework (mainly used with Big Sur). It also emulates a lot of hardware.
Virtualization Framework only supports booting Linux VMs with minimal hardware emulation at the moment. It is only available on Big Sur.
You are right. I was thinking Hypervisor Framework and its usage by Parallels Desktop Lite from the App Store. Lite version doesn’t require additional drivers and bridge adapters. It runs on top of Hypervisor Framework.
