Does this support Apple Silicon yet without patches? Can’t seem to see definite info.
There's an app that wraps QEMU called UTM. It's open source but also you can pay $10 and get it on the app store.
I have had a lot of trouble with machines getting corrupted, not working at all, locking up, but I did get a Debian machine working that runs ARM Linux on my Macbook Air M1.
+1 for UTM - The website for mac (https://mac.getutm.app/) has some recipes and pre-built image for Windows and the main Linux distros. I had okay results with emulating Windows -- nothing usable in my day to day, though.
Should work for TCG (emulation); not yet for HVF (virtualization).
HVF does build with Nix (with an overlay), so the build experience doesn't suck. [1] for the base, then apply [2] to SLIRP if you don't want to use HVF's network adapter (which needs root). I'm happily running FreeBSD and Linux VMs on my Mac Mini with this

Not sure why you're downvoted. QEMU is not on https://isapplesiliconready.com/ either so I'd think it's a valid question?
