The question I have is can you package images for x86 architecture without Docker Buildx/QEMU with Mac's on Apple silicone . Mac's Rosetta 2 is supposed to be able to do it. But Idk. Most use cases for Linux containers in the cloud need to be packaged for x86. </div></div><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jun 11, 2025 at 1:46 AM David Schwartz via PLUG-discuss <<a href="mailto:plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org" class="">plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Well, if you’re open to a reason to switch to a Mac, this might nudge you a little bit:<br class="">
