- JohnBooty 3y agoTechnically, no. Effectively, sort of. When they transitioned to Apple Silicon they simultaneously transitioned to Virtio.
- bonzini 3y agoIndeed, Virtualization.framework already supported virtio in guests before, but that's when they added host drivers. By the way this: > In the Virtio model, providing such support is the task of the operating system, not the virtualiser. is wrong. Virtualization.framework is a standard implementation of a virtualiser that is shipped with macOS, and while it includes virtio, it does not have to be part of the OS; the same task can be done by anyone (for example QEMU). The low-level, OS-dependent part of virtualization support is called Hypervisor.framework and it does not have any knowledge of virtio.
