Would be cool if we see something come out that uses the Apple native Virtualization.framework so you can use the nested Rosetta extensions on M1. Dunno if that's been done yet.

It is an option in Lima, I’m not sure if they handle setting up Rosetta yet though:

https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/blob/master/docs/vmtype.md

Oh sick! According to some of their GitHub issues (https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/issues/1202) they do setup Rosetta. I'll have to check this out then!

UTM uses either Virtualization.framework or QEMU depending on what you specify.

so it's doing software virtualization?

Looks like it defaults to using `-accel hvf`, roughly analogous to KVM, so no.

hvf = hypervisor framework

lima now supports "macOS Virtualization.Framework"

I guess it's better/different and not just roughly the same thing wrapped in new packaging?
