I’ve seen this story over a dozen times on Reddit yet I’ll still reread it without fail.

Rosetta 2 is the key part of this. Only works under MacOS, alas.

I tried running x86 emulation under qemu and was sorely disappointed. qemu, unfortunately, isn’t well written for this use case (only keeps 16 MB of instructions translated in memory at a time, last I checked). Rosetta 2 just rewrites an entire app once.

But I was trying to emulate an entire VM, which isn’t something you can just point Rosetta at.
