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.
