I wouldn't call Transmission "hacky".. I've been using it for many many years without issue at all.

I've been using it exclusively for well over a decade. I mean this particular unofficial build is very hacky and broken, not Transmission in general.

Arobas support confirmed the M1 Native version of Guitar Pro will be delivered as part of the new 8.0 release.
7.5.5 works fine under Rosetta.

OneDrive is still running of Rosetta, as far as I can tell.

And it still uses far too much memory compared to Intel MacOS platforms. Ive been running insider releases for some time hoping MS will get on top of this issue. Its much better now but still balloons to > 400MB with an empty drive account (not counting its Finder extension). Same version running on 2019 MBP 15 with 20,000+ files settles around 270MB.

My concern with popular applications that are not yet updated isn't really about trying to avoid Rosetta or some sort of Apple-only-in-the-activity-monitor obsession.

It's this.

The Transition started nearly a year ago months ago. Dev kits have been out for over 9 months. Consumer devices for more than 5. If developers are not keeping up to date with compiling for Apple Silicon - what else are they not updating? What outdated APIs are they using? What security vulnerabilities have they not patched? It says a lot about a company if even comparatively simple things ( like, say, Dropbox ) are still not Universal 2 Apps. It's a litmus test. And lots of people are failing it.
 
In the case of Transmission - which is based on Qt: There is no official ASi native Qt out yet. Due to Rosetta 2 there is no strict requirement for a native version, so it seems sensible to assume they'll wait for the native Qt version.
The same applies to other Qt apps.

I happen to have quite a view Qt apps and have tried to create an ASi native version myself to no avail. For now, its a PITA to compile for AArch64; and its not required. So for now all my Qt apps are running using Rosetta.

Waiting for the ASi native version, which is announced, but not yet out

don't look under the hood of any of the adobe products! you probably won't like the sausage used to create the final products

Transmission for Mac uses Cocoa for the user interface, not Qt. You can easily compile it for Apple Silicon right now but the developers haven't gotten around to it for some reason.
