> x86 binaries are no longer usable

What do you mean by this? Rosetta 2 is very fast and it runs a lot of x86 apps well.

I meant x86 as in 32-bit Intel, as opposed to x64 or x86-64 or AMD64 or whatever you want to call it.

Catalina ended support for 32-bit binaries even on Intel Macs, and Rosetta2 could never run 32-bit code.

I feel for you lmao. Technology naming conventions are a shitshow, and CPU architecture is no exception.
