1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I didn't say hardware accelerated virtualization on qemu was slow. In fact, it's one of the best performing hypervisors out there. When used as an emulator, however, its performance leaves something to be desired.

    Even as a emulator it is very solid. Name one emulator that is faster. (Rosetta is a translator not an emulator)

    ...the difference being? JIT transpilers still count as emulators.

    They really don't. A emulator is doing all of the hardware in software. A translator is just converting instructions.

    By that definition, qemu-[architecture] is a translator. qemu-system-[architecture] is an emulator.

    And it's still a worse translator than Rosetta. Because Rosetta cheats.
