Does this support Apple Silicon yet without patches? Can’t seem to see definite info.
I have had a lot of trouble with machines getting corrupted, not working at all, locking up, but I did get a Debian machine working that runs ARM Linux on my Macbook Air M1.

There's an app that wraps QEMU called UTM. It's open source but also you can pay $10 and get it on the app store.

Are there any option for emulation of 68k machines ?
It was sufficient to boot Linux in some configurations but not complete enough of an emulation to run other things. This is in general the story with many things in QEMU.
I didn't keep notes, I suppose I should have. I might revisit this again someday.
Can something like this be used to, say, build emulators for different game consoles? And do the popular emulators use this as a building block? Asking this as someone whose only experience with emulation and virtualization is running games on VisualBoyAdvance and running Ubuntu on VirtualBox
Semi-related question... I recently spent an evening trying to familiarize myself with virtualization tooling and my initial impression was that the CLI experience for kvm and hyper-v was rather clunky compared to let's say docker, gcloud, ignite and kubectl. Also a lot of the learning material seems to be oriented towards GUI. It could be that I just haven't spent enough time with kvm and hyper-v. I've spent a LOT o…
Look at LXC/LXD you get both VMs and containers with the same CLI.
Also LXD's command line tool being
lxc
lxc-*

Last I played with the coldfire and 68k emulations in qemu to try to get it to boot EmuTOS (an Atari ST operating system) I found a lot of the I/O devices lacking, even just to run headless. It was sufficient to boot Linux in some configurations but not complete enough of an emulation to run other things. This is in general the story with many things in QEMU.

Do you mean TSG? From https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/6.0#TCG > TCG > Added support for Apple Silicon hosts (macOS)
TSO is Total Store Ordering, which refers to the memory model of x86_64. For Rosetta 2, Apple will switch the M1 processor's memory model when emulating x86_64.
I tried an WinXP VM on my M1 Air just for fun but got the performance of an early Pentium. I know emulation is slow but was hoping for a little more.

Yes: https://xemu.app/ https://xqemu.com/ Are both original Xbox emulators built off of QEMU (Xemu is a fork of XQEMU). I've only used Xemu, but performance was pretty good for the games I tried on it (it doesn't have a way to upscale rendering yet though).

I stopped bothering with libvirt and other frontends for local dev environments. Now I use shell scripts to start my VMs. I only create one per month or two so it isn't that much of a hassle.
