Please don't argue unnecessary points, on the ARM Intel can not be virtualized only emulated as you rightly say.
Finding an ARM Linux is an issue for itself, as is installing it, finding a recent version of LaTeX for it and keep this all current. Makes even less sense for this small issue, for which there is s simple workaround and which I am confident will be fixed soon. I have been using Virtual Box on an Intel iMac (for many years) as my practice software runs on (Intel) Windows only. They have an early beta for ARM, but for if and when I have to replace the iMac (with an ARM iMini or Studio) I rather have gotten me a small form factor Intel box, which I will install RSN and then run headless with RustDesk or VNC even while I still have the Intel box so I get experience. But, make no mistake, nothing else will be installed on that thingy, I will not use Microsoft products if there is any way around it and would not dream of even trying LyX on Windows. el On 23/01/2023 16:01, Christopher Menzel wrote: [...] > Virtualization is not emulation.
