it's 2025. Apple Silicon users should not still be finding themselves coerced into installing rosetta2 when the software they want to run is supposedly now updated to run natively…
I have been unable to run any of my NI software since upgrading to an M3 macbook, despite the fact that all the actual software now runs native on apple silicon for no other reason than NTKdaemon has a hard dependency on installing rosetta2. Why is this STILL the case when even it runs natively now….
I get that there are some legacy software/plugins which will need rosetta2 to install/run, but why force rosetta2 to be installed up front instead of waiting until a user actually tries to install such a plugin? This situation is beyond ridiculous…
No, I don't care if rosetta2 runs smoothly, or whether it takes up resources or not. I simply don't want it installed AT ALL. I didn't fork out thousands of dollars for a new machine with a new CPU architecture to run legacy software through an emulator.
