Well yes, Fedora "just works" once you compile, or download something
off github, to launch VMs on MacOS, then extract kernel and bits and
then finally boot the VM once you put the right cmd line options
together.... sure it "just works".
Well, adding arm hypervisor framework support to qemu is in the works
too. Once that landed upstream (which should be qemu 6.0 in april
unless something goes horribly wrong) you'll have a pretty standard
virtual machine with uefi etc where you can install fedora as usual
without any hacks.
If you are comfortable with building your own qemu you can grab the
patches from the mailing list and do that today.
take care,
