Apple Virtualization Framework
Right. I forked it [0] myself and added direct Rosetta support which was trivial to do according to the Apple documentation. I just had to convert Swift example code to Obj-C.
Have had a PR open for several months with no attention from the author. I almost forgot about it until seeing this HN headline.

Colima k8s nix setup
You can run a virtual machine (e.g. lima) from inside a nix-shell, exactly as you would do with a regular shell.

Ask HN: Startup Devs -What's your biggest pain while managing cloud deployments?
for others similarly curious, here's an example of the thing: https://github.com/noop-inc/template-java-spring-boot/blob/m...
they seem to be using the excellent lima <https://github.com/lima-vm/lima#readme> for booting on macOS; I run colima for its containerd and k8s support but strongly recommend both projects $(brew install lima colima)
- macOS 14.4 causes JVM crashes
- Lima launches Linux virtual machines for macOS

Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS
Lima is what I use as well. It's quick and easy to just fire up a VM with default settings, but also very easy to configure with different file sharing options, port forwarding, different linux distributions, etc. (their examples are also pretty good IMO [1]).
In particular I use it to run an amd64 VM, which I need to run a stubborn service for work that doesn't run on arm CPUs.

Why are Apple Silicon VMs so different?
Lima (1) is a project that packages Linux distros for MacOS and executes them via qemu in the backend. Maybe you could solve your problem by launching one of their vms and inspecting the command line it generates. You might find an option you were missing.

I'd say Lima and Colima should be enough for most use cases:

Lima: Linux Virtual Machines on macOS
Github: https://github.com/lima-vm/lima
Lima wraps QEMU in a simple CLI, with neat features for container users, such as filesystem sharing and automatic localhost port forwarding, as well as DNS and proxy propagation for enterprise networks. Rancher Desktop wraps Lima with k3s integration and GUI.
