Ask HN: How are you dealing with the M1/ARM migration?

I love the M1 chips. I use a 2021 MacBook both personally and professionally. My job is DevOps work. But the migration to ARM is proving to be quite a pain point. Not being able to just do things as I would on x86-64 is damaging my productivity and creating a necessity for horrible workarounds. As far as I know none of our pipelines yet do multi-arch Docker builds, so everything we have is heavily x86-64 oriented. VirtualBox is out of the picture because it doesn't support ARM. That means other tools that rely on it are also out of the picture, like Molecule. My colleague wrote a sort of wrapper script that uses Multipass instead but Multipass can't do x86-on-ARM emulation. I've been using Lima to create virtual machines which works quite well because it can do multiple architectures. I haven't tested it on Linux though, and since it claims to be geared towards macOS that worries me. We are a company using a mix of MacBooks and Linux machines so we need a tool that
