| - QEMU (Legacy) as a VMM on Apple Silicon will be removed in 4.39. Please switch to virtualization.framework for increased performance and stability. If you encounter an issue, [contact support](https://www.docker.com/support/) or file a [github issue](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues). |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
- Looks like Vale doesn't like the "Please"; perhaps "Users are recommended to switch to ..."
- It also complains about "VMM" as unknown acronym; I think it works if you put it like "Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) ..." (is it "manager"?)

I am happy to put a note in the release notes but let's not commit to when we will deprecate without an internal alignment first. |
…uture version For filesharing, anyone still using osxfs should switch to virtiofs which is faster and more stable. For running the Linux VM locally, anyone still using Qemu on Apple Silicon should switch to virtualization.framework which is also faster and more stable. In case someone hits a problem and needs help, include links to support and the github issue tracker. Some history: - In 2020 osxfs was marked as legacy (Docker Desktop 2.4.2.0). - In 2023 with the release of macOS 14, all supported macOS versions (current release plus previous two) use virtualization.framework by default. - In 2024 (Docker Desktop 4.36) Qemu as a VMM was marked as legacy in the UI.

Description
Highlight 2 deprecations in the release notes. Technically both were highlighted before in the DD UI by adding "(Legacy)" labels, but it's better to over-communicate than under-communicate!
For filesharing, anyone still using osxfs should switch to virtiofs which is faster and more stable.
For running the Linux VM locally, anyone still using Qemu on Apple Silicon should switch to virtualization.framework which is also faster and more stable.
In case someone hits a problem, can't switch and needs help, include links to support and the github issue tracker.
Some history:
In 2020 osxfs was marked as legacy (Docker Desktop 2.4.2.0).
In 2023 with the release of macOS 14, all supported macOS versions (current release plus previous two) use virtualization.framework by default.
In 2024 (Docker Desktop 4.36) Qemu as a VMM was marked as legacy in the UI.
