I don't have an apple arm device, I was waiting until I could run x86 vms reasonably efficiently, because I need that all the time. Up to now it seemed the answer was it's too slow if you want to use an x86 basically in a normal way with a vm. This article suggests rosetta2 would let you have usable performance, can someone provide the high level view? r2 was about 2/3 the speed of native exec on that last benchmark the article.
- olliej 4y agoYou would be able to run x86 code on an arm Linux vm. There is no VM option better than qemu or similar. The problem as far as I can infer is that for a binary translator the translator is given a bunch of context a full VM can’t have (what random clump of bytes is an executable, etc)
- rnk 4y agoWould it be useless for trying to run an x86 os, with binaries? I really do need to occasionally run something on x86 based linux but I could probably avoid it most of the time.
