Sorry if this is a little bit off-topic but I can't find this answer anywhere. Can I run Docker on M1 right now? Even through Rosetta 2? Or does it not work that way? I want to buy an M1 laptop but need to be able to run some simple images on it.

Unfortunately you cannot run Docker on the M1 yet, even with Rosetta 2. There are some hacky workarounds for manually launching single images, but I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for.
Docker is working on it, and the latest blog I’ve seen is here: https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/11/29/early-docker-buil...

You can’t run Docker for Mac. You need to use Docker Machine and connect to a Raspberry Pi or some other hardware that is able to run Docker.

FWIW: Docker will not run x86 VMs. I only mention this because you brought up running Docker via Rosetta.

There is no packaged way to run docker on m1 yet. Once Docker is supported, it will be running ARM native - so you will likely use QEMU to emulate other architectures like x86 and x86_64 if you don't have ARM-based containers available.
