I, uh, really shot myself in the foot a bit with using a Mac for my work computer, mainly because it appears the x86_64 Linux support just... still doesn't work on Apple Silicon?
I was promised that Parallels can use Rosetta so I'd be able to emulate, but apparently that is only true for existing VMs.
I'm trying UTM for emulation, haven't closed the loop on if it's possible at all, but I'm pretty pissed that my "pro" edition of Parallels promised it would be able to do this and it can't!
