Arm Mac Virtualbox

What’s included in the installer. The Docker Desktop installation includes Docker Engine, Docker CLI client, Docker Compose, Notary, Kubernetes, and Credential Helper. Install and run Docker Desktop on Mac. Double-click Docker.dmg to open the installer, then drag the Docker icon to the Applications folder. Double-click Docker.app in the Applications folder to start Docker. Good news: A new version of Parallels Desktop for Mac that can run on Mac with Apple M1 chip is already in active development. When Apple Silicon Mac was first announced during the keynote at WWDC on June 22 of this year, Apple demoed a Parallels Desktop for Mac prototype running a Linux virtual machine flawlessly on Apple Silicon. To install Windows on a Mac using VirtualBox: Obtain Windows 10 disk image (see the How to Get Windows for Mac chapter). Download and install VirtualBox on your Mac. Launch VirtualBox and click the New button in the top-left corner. Choose a descriptive name of the virtual machine and select Windows 10 as the version.

And in any case: an ARM hypervisor would have to be developed from scratch. It's not a port of VirtualBox.

Ok, if so, then there is no future for VB on the Mac because all future Macs will be Apple Silicon based (ARM). Bad news and good to know for further decisions.
It would help me because I could run Linux VMs (and later an ARM Windows) on the Mac....Apple is making Macs with ARM-based CPUs, and the question has been raised if Virtualbox will run on these Macs.
Virtualbox is an x86 computer hardware simulator. Virtualbox uses and is tuned to x86 CPU instructions, and runs in the x86 environment.
Virtualbox is not an emulator, so it cannot translate ARM instructions to an x86 computer, nor x86 instructions to an ARM computer. Virtualbox is not officially compiled for ARM.
Regrettably this means that Virtualbox in its present form will not run on the ARM-based Macs.
The Virtualbox developers do not reveal their plans for future releases of Virtualbox, so we on the forum do not and cannot know if Virtualbox will ever support the ARM-based Macs in the future.
If Virtualbox ever does get translated to ARM it is highly likely that it will only be able to run VMs with ARM operating systems,
