Parallels offers rosetta inside of linux on apple silicon, but rosetta only supports 64bit x86. If you want 32bit you are going need to use another solution. Fex Emu supports x86 32 bit but the performance probably won't be great and it isn't going to be plug and play. Windows for arm has their own version of rosetta which supports both 32 and 64 bit x86 and it works well enough, but i don't know that it will be performant enough for heavy work. if your closed source tools also require closed source drivers then it probably won't work on either.
- jeroenhd 3y agoLast time I read up on the performance characteristics of Windows' ARM translator, it seemed to be pretty close to what Apple manages to do with Rosetta. Some performance is left on the table (all the hardware trickery Apple built in) but amd64-to-aarch64 should work well enough. The big problem with Windows on ARM seems to be that nobody is making fast enough ARM chips for a price that marches the performance expectations. The new Qualcom chips look very promising, though!
