Hello, I have a question regarding running ChimeraX on Apple's M1 chip. About two years ago (Nov 2, 2021), there was a post by Tom announcing the development of a version of ChimeraX that would run natively on Apple M1 instead of emulting for the Intel processor. Looking in the download section, I see such a native version is now regularly released. However, I am wondering what is the differen between the "macOS M1 or M2" and "macOS". While the former is only for M1 and M2, the latter on is for M1, M2, and Intel Macs, this one is also quite larger in size. If one is working on a macOS M1 (or M2) machine, is it correct to go for the "macOS M1 or M2"? Would that correspond to natively running ChimeraX and provide the best possible performance, or should one always go for the "macOS" release? I am currently updating my hardware, and since I am working quite a bit with ChimeraX, I would like to also inform my decisions based on the available ChimeraX releases. Thank you very much.
