UTM. It's qemu under the hood and will emulate x86 if you want it to. (Or other architectures, it runs Mac OS 9 under an emulated PowerPC perfectly. Great fun.)

But it's not quick. I would not attempt to run a modern Windows on it, I don't think it would work due to a lack of performance.

$10 for a GUI.

Is this comment supposed to indicate that’s expensive? A fast food meal to support the development of an intuitive GUI wrapper around a piece of software I may use for hours on end? There’s also a free download on their website.

What a deal! Id gladly pay for a nice GUI that manages things and makes configuration easy. My time is worth way more than $10.

Also, “Purchasing the App Store version directly funds the development of UTM and shows your support.”

only if you use Apple's walled garden. did you miss the multiple links to the free download hosted on github?

It's both free and open source (https://github.com/utmapp/UTM). You can pay 10$ to get automatic updates, which IMHO is a very fair price and you are helping support the project.
