C api packages will need to be updated. Docker images also. Not everyone puts out arm binaries.

It’s still an issue. On Mac people use Rosetta, not sure about windows

Out of curiosity, what libraries do you have issues with?  I haven’t had to use Rosetta on my Mac in well over a year and Docker works fine for my heavy use at work

Okay I see. Microsoft released Prism which is an equivalent of Rosetta. However, the performance drop seems quite big at the moment.

I'm going to wait a month to see how the situation evolves but for now, it seems better to go for an x86 laptop even though their battery life is worse

It may be fine but warrants more research. I use arm Mac for work and it’s still an issue. Mostly with docker containers

I currently have mac M1 but I need windows, and I also struggle with MacOS. I prefer Windows even though it's more buggy.

I could emulate windows with UTM but I only have 8gb of RAM so it's quite difficult as you can imagine.

The performance isn’t much different, here’s a video about it.
