X86_64 containers run just fine on my m2 Mac. Since macOS doesn’t really support containers, it’s really just running a vm to run the containers in. Changing the vm allows you to run a different arch. Rosetta makes that fairly easy. I use Colima to run my containers, and to make them run as x86_64 it’s just a command line flag

I use karabiner on my macbook so I can remap the fn key to command. So cmd + c is much more natural for me since I have long fingers and big hands. Stupid little cmd + c with thumb and pointer is just dumb

Not sure they will give you a choice. I just had to give up my intel 16 inch due to it throttling all the cpus down. Even the jet engines couldn’t keep it cool enough to not throttle.
