Does the podman VM have Rosetta 2 acceleration or does it still use the slow qemu runtime on M series Macbooks? This is the main reason I switched to OrbStack which is a very promising alternative to all of this. Free for now but looks like they intend on making it a paid app in the future. The speed difference is significant.

- ecnahc515 3y agoQemu is the hypervisor in this situation. Which doesn't necessarily preclude having Rosetta acceleration of AMD64 binaries within the ARM64 Linux guest itself. That said, as far as I know, the only official way to use Rosetta inside a Linux guest is using Virtualization.Framework, which allows mounting a Rosetta binfmt handler via Virtiofs. So it's also going to use Qemu inside the VM to handle running amd64 images, not Rosetta.
