    I have recently purchased a parallels license because I couldn't get 'drag an drop' to work on vmware Fusion. And for what I do, drag and drop is essential. Open-vmware tools simply doesn't get the job done. Now, I'm running Ubuntu 24.04 in Parallels and it works like shit. Honestly. I've had all kinds of issues, for example, dragging a window from one corner to another leaves a trail of frozen like shadow frames of the window. This is what usually happens when you're connected through remote desktop to a server god knows where, and you can see the frames of the window when you move it from one side to another. But here it should happen. It on the same fucking machine. Then Firefox takes forever to open. On vmware is blazing fast. But not on parallels. Then if you open files manager, again it takes forever to open. I have disabled that function which shares my Mac cloud directories with the guest system and still takes longer than it does on vmware. Then, the other day, the network manager got "confused" and the internet connection did not work anymore. A restart of the app solved the issue.. but that didn't happen on vmware. And all this happens while the guest on parallels has received exactly the same amount of memory, cpu and graphic memory as the one on vmware. How is it possible for a free version of vmware to work better than a paid version of parallels? I've tried Ubuntu 23.10 and on both vmware and parallels and I could swear it works better on vmware. I'm running Version 19.3.1 (54941) of Parallels for Mac Pro on a iMac 2020 with 3,6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9 and 64 GB RAM. WTF???
