so obviously you are in uncharted territory. https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/issues/471 may be helpful though
can't use hvf and will need to tweak the limavm config to use tcg

This error comes from Rancher Desktop; it checks if the system supports hardware virtualization, and dies, if it doesn't. This was originally added in Update installation docs by mook-as 路 Pull Request #416, which predates the Lima PR above. So maybe this restriction can be relaxed now, but I remember that using TCG performance was horrible when I tried it (like taking 20min to boot the VM).
If you can run from source, then I would recommend removing the check, and see how things work. If you get at least somewhat workable performance, then please file a GitHub issue (or PR) for this!

Yeah the main probmle is that i use AMD on my hackintosh - and with Intel CPU with VT-x everyting works. 20 min is better than nothing 馃檪
@fast-garage-66093 I guess I'm not in the posion to know execly hot to run from source and remove the check. Could that be something I can post in a Issue - Or do you thinkt, cause its not suppored, thats nothing for a task to do 馃檪 Right now, for a PR, my knowledge about Rancher and the source code is too low :)"

I've created a test-pr in my private fork that should disable the check: Comment out virtualization check by jandubois 路 Pull Request #7 路 jandubois/rancher-desktop
Assuming everything passes in CI (it should), you should be able to download a build from https://github.com/jandubois/rancher-desktop/actions/runs/8664947999 once the packaging step is complete. You need to be logged into GitHub to download the packages. They will be wrapped in a ZIP file; that is normal for GitHub actions. Pick the DMG file for testing.
The CI builds are not signed, so depending on how you download/unzip the DMG file, you may need to manually remove the quarantine flags after you install it:
Copy code
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Rancher\ <http://Desktop.app/|Desktop.app/>
Note that this will be a build from the current HEAD of the development tree, so is subtly different from 1.13.1.
Let me know if this works (and what kind of performance you get, if it works), and I'll see if we can maybe add an environment variable to the regular builds to disable the check.

@fast-garage-66093 Thanks alot - I will test it this week. Thank's for your help and extra work you did. 馃檪 I will update you here.
