1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of LiveQuartz has been confirmed running on real Macs. Anyone still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version, which will run natively on M-series Macs with better performance and battery efficiency. The simplest way to get the native build is to download it from the official website or update through the Mac App Store if your copy is from there.
