It supports Rosetta2, so yes.
Sweet, that will help me, although it takes away my last blocker allowing me to use my Linux box as my primary blocker.
I guess I will have to comain about performance or something.

Mac and Linux feel like cousins than ultra far apart at times.

So I guess now you can run some games.
Yeah, about that... Heroic game launcher is free and can run a loooooooot of pc games. It now runs pc steam directly.

If containers are part of your work then you wouldn't buy a 8GB RAM unupgradable device anyway.

virtio-gpu with Vulkan pass through for the VM with a Vulkan to Metal translator in host user space. There are various talks about this including at KVM forum: https://kvm-forum.qemu.org/2024/The_many_faces_of_virtio-gpu_F4XtKDi.pdf
