The app UTM http://mac.getutm.app/ uses qemu for emulation. I am able to run an amd64 (x86/x64) VM with an AlmaLinux 9 OS minimal ISO on my arm64 silicon MacBook Pro. However I'm not getting passed the installation, it keeps installing and configuring forever. Of course emulation is slower than virtualisation, but it's so extremely slow that it's unusable :-(
