Can I limit/pin Orbstack Linux VM to just use performance cores.

[qredek]

My Mac sometimes can get unresponsive if I run a lot of CPU-intensive tasks inside a LinuxVM. I know I can reduce CPU utilisation in the Settings, but I was wondering if I can ensure that the Linux VM is using only the performance cores. Does reducing the CPU utilisation to the number of performance cores (say 800% for 8 performance cores) already does that?

Yes, it should more or less be doing that (due to the VM's QoS level) if the CPU limit is equal to the number of P cores. Completely pinning processes to specific cores/clusters is not possible on macOS so it's more of a best-effort hint to the scheduler.
