Docker for Mac Desktop supports the M1 and uses an Linux VM that is ARM. It is not using Rosetta 2 at all.

  But if you run x86 images, it will use qemu’s software emulation inside the Linux VM (which is quite slow).

    This has been the big slowdown for my org as a number of packages we rely on in docker on debian do not yet have an arm64 version, so have to emulate x86 and take the huge performance hit.

      May I introduce you to AWS/GCP/Azure where you can cheaply run legacy x86 systems and use them for development?

      Yea, don't get the benefit of the hypervisor when constrained to x86 Vms.
