[Qgis-user] QGIS on Apple Silicon / Rosetta 2?

[John Layt]

Hi Saber,

Wish I could offer Peter a machine to test on, we did sponsor the Mac
packaging fundraiser, but I'm not sure I can convince the boss to let one
go!

If we do get these machines, and QGIS doesn't run, then Peter will be
the first to know, and I'll try to arrange for him to get remote access at
least.

Cheers!

John.
