Indeed - only talked about Linux, of which there are of course ARM versions available.

Yeah, but what I care about is being able to run Docker with x86 containers so that I can use the same containers on my laptop as my servers.

Not all packages are available in ARM flavors.

Indeed - and I'm hoping they give some more details about that, whether it's ARM only virtualisation, or if their Rosetta 2 also supports x86 virtualisation.

Their dev documentation states that rosetta is only for user mode emulation.
