I'm on M2 Mac 15.5 Running this: Let's re-create the VM again, but edit the config first (comment unneeded parts) And the result is: Perhaps I'm missing something? |

It will automatically pick qemu for you, as long as you specify the arch in the initial command:
It is quite slow to run full system emulation, though. https://lima-vm.io/docs/config/multi-arch/ So if you can use a amd64 container, or even better just a amd64 binary, that will be faster (with Rosetta). The best would of course be to run a native binary, I think it is unfortunate that many recommend emulation... |

You need to specify
--vm-type qemu. The Apple virtualization framework doesn't do emulation; it just virtualizes the host processor. And Rosetta doesn't have support for virtualization instructions.
