Oddly enough, I just spun up a new Linux VM in an unRAID setup today. May not suit your needs but it most certainly works for what the client wanted.

What's the best virtualization tool for running x86 linux VMs on a modern Apple Silicon host? Ideally using Rosetta so that performance isn't dogshit?

There isn't a way to do precisely what you described. Rosetta doesn't provide the full-machine emulation you'd need to run an entire x86 VM, it's limited to running userspace x86 binaries on an arm64 OS.

What you can do is run an arm64 linux guest, and install Rosetta for Linux in that guest to enable it to run x86 binaries at high speed. As already suggested, UTM is a good place to start.

That isn’t strictly true - Rosetta doesn’t do full machine emulation; but UTM does (and has done for at least several years now). You can configure it in the settings and have it run in emulation mode, and then create an X86 VM. The performance penalty is abysmal however - or at least it was when I tried it back when I bought my M1 Max Mac Studio. It may very well have improved significantly back then but at the time, running a contemporary OS (I tested a couple of linux distros aimed at low spec machines) was borderline unusable. Potentially if your needs were super limited - ie having a linux distro with no GUI doing very basic non time sensitive stuff you could make it work.

Older systems worked surprisingly well - you could get a perfectly serviceable windows 95 VM running for eg. maybe even windows xp.

this isn't a good well actually because it doesn't contradict anything I said, OP ideally wanted Rosetta performance while running an x86 VM and that's not possible.

UTM is a pretty good and simple one to use: https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/

There are a few things you can't do (like passthrough USB devices, iirc) but that is a limitation on Apple's side because they haven't exposed a way to do that, yet.

Wait, that can do Mac OS 9? Is it any more stable than SheepShaver?

On my iPhone iOS allows me to make keyboard shortcuts ( such as when you type gently caress it knows I don't mean duck and I can type " l l a p (without spaces) to get the 🖖 emoji.) How do I do this in MacOS so when I type "hmmyes" for the :hmmyes: smilie here?

It's an SA emoji - when I type "hmmyes" it becomes "hmm yes" because the mac's system thinks I'm misspelling it and correcting it. Since I use the emoji here a lot I get tired of correcting it all the time, that's all. This only works when I use it here for SA's own emojis when you type the ":" before and after the trigger word from that big list on that page.

edit: the reason I was asking about it in this thread was because I had forgotten how I did it on my phone since it's been so long since I had done it and I was hoping that there was a setting here on the Mac that did the same thing.

lol. i’m just amazed that this bug has existed for years, since their itself years-delayed introduction of even having the goddamned favicon on the tab, and they cannot or will not figure it the gently caress out. I just did the loving purge favicon cache bullshit again and immediately on reload one tab is displaying the generic cap letter instead of the favicon that other tabs from the same goddamned site are happily showing.

If you’ve got 80 tabs open you have far bigger problems than missing favicons. And at that point you really ought to have a better system for organising your tabs.

I am informed that Apple's bug-fixing process is a bit dysfunctional - if the bug is not 'a regression' (i.e. a bug that appeared recently), they will ignore it.
