UTM's shared directory implementation relies on SPICE WebDAV, which is slow.
Use Samba for faster shared directories. Samba is ~5x faster, see benchmarks at the end.

#### I created the Arch (target) VM (from the get go) and booted that with an Ubuntu CD | |
#### I think it's easier to do it that rather than to mess around with an existing vm | |

The included script 'widevine-flash_armhf.sh' fetches a ChromeOS image for ARM and extracts the Widevine binary, saving it in a compressed archive. Since it downloads a fairly large file (2Gb+ on disk after download) it is recommended that you run the script on a machine that has plenty of disk space.
To install the resultant archive, issue the following on your ARM machine–after copying over the archive if needed:
sudo tar Cfx / widevine-flash-20200124_armhf.tgz
(Where 'widevine-flash-20200124_armhf.tgz' is updated to reflect the actual name of the created archive)
As a freelancer, I build a lot of web sites. That's a lot of code changes to track. Thankfully, a Git-enabled workflow with proper branching makes short work of project tracking. I can easily see development features in branches as well as a snapshot of the sites' production code. A nice addition to that workflow is that ability to use Git to push updates to any of the various sites I work on while committing changes.
