OrbStack doesn't use Rosetta 2. It does support Rosetta 2 for Linux, but it's something you would have to go out of your way to use.

- emmanueloga_ 2y agoI confess I don't really know the technical details of how they use Rosetta, but according to their docs [1]: "We use Rosetta to emulate x86 programs on Apple Silicon, which is much faster than the commonly-used QEMU." What I get is that rosetta is used when you run something on Docker that uses x86 architecture (I'm guessing x86_64), which for me is pretty often. -- 1: https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture#low-level-vm-optimizations https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture#low-level-vm-optimiza...
