From the page: What Can't Be Translated? Rosetta can translate most Intel-based apps, including apps that contain just-in-time (JIT) compilers. However, Rosetta doesn’t translate the following executables: * Kernel extensions * Virtual Machine apps that virtualize x86_64 computer platforms Some people are not going to be happy about this. Edit: But I personally am okay with that.

Like... it's not ideal, maybe, but kernel extensions are already a little touchy so I'm not surprised that they at least need to recompile, and VMs likewise are unfortunate but they can just rebuild and be good (i.e. I'm betting less than a month before people are running around using qemu-system-x86_64 natively built for ARM again).

Meh, kernel extensions are on life support at this point.

Apple wants kexts gone. They announced the deprecation last year, and this is another chance to force the change. (And for good reasons, if my layman's understanding of the security is at all correct.)

  Apple ARM will support kexts. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_silicon/installing_a_custom_kernel_extension https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_silicon/inst...

    Well color me surprised. I figured that’d be on the chopping block.

      I was surprised too. I wonder which crazy peripheral (or maybe it was antivirus/intrusion detection?) made them not go all in on "only apple gets to be in kernel space".

        Judging by this horrible Bitdefender Endpoint Security that IT has foisted upon me: device management and anti-malware stuff.

        Maybe Dropbox?
