- torstenvl 11mo agoYou're right. It looks like the new full VM emulation in 20.2 doesn't use Rosetta. https://www.parallels.com/blogs/parallels-desktop-20-2-0/ https://www.parallels.com/blogs/parallels-desktop-20-2-0/ Nevertheless, running x64 software including Docker containers on aarch64 VMs does use Rosetta. There's still a significant valid use case that has nothing to do with neglected software. Edited my post above. Thanks for the correction.
- mrpippy 11mo agoThe OP only applies to Rosetta for running x64 Mac apps, not running x64 Linux software in aarch64 Linux VMs.
