@savagematt could you check your qemu's version ?

using command line
qemu-system-aarch64 --version

and from where comes from qemu using which qemu-system-aarch64

@savagematt wondering if you had a chance to check this. did you end up getting Podman Desktop working on your M2 Mac? I have one here so I can try to reproduce with more info. Can you check the qemu version? (copy/pasta-ing below for your convenience):

using command line
qemu-system-aarch64 --version

and from where comes from qemu using which qemu-system-aarch64

Looks similar to this issue: #20776

Is it a duplicate?

Podman 5.0 no longer support qemu on macos, we now use the apple hypervisor
