Right out the toaster. Reliable, with some real depth.
Summary
Apple is planning to phase out Rosetta 2 support, the compatibility layer that allows Intel-based applications to run on Apple Silicon Macs. The company has begun warning users about this change with macOS Tahoe, and warnings will intensify in macOS Golden Gate. Users running Intel apps via Rosetta will see warnings on every restart or when loading such apps, and a new list feature will help identify which apps still rely on Rosetta. This signals the eventual end of Intel app compatibility on Apple Silicon Macs.
