Exactly. I was on an M1 Mac, so trying to emulate x86/64 would have been painfully, unusably slow.
For simple console stuff on the terminal, it's ok. But when the GUI is involved, or anything with a lot of computation, having to translate all of the instructions from native ARM64 back to x86/64 and back takes a ton of resources and time.

If you're going to run it in a VM, why ARM?

Not OP by my machine is an M1 Mac, so ARM64 VMs are much more performant than emulated x86/x64 ones.
