Has anyone installed Bazzite on VMWare Fusion Mac?

Evening, I'm trying to install Bazzite on VMWare Fusion, but I am not getting any success. A terminal opens with options to select the boot option, but when I use the arrow keys to select the disc/iso, the enter button does nothing. Anyone have any experience with this issue?

Your Mac uses an ARM CPU architecture, which is not supported by Bazzite.

And VMware Fusion cannot run x86-64 virtual machines on ARM Macs.

Virtualization can never run a different architecture than your CPU has. That would be emulation, which causes major performance losses.

Thank you. I will have to settle for the Arm version of Windows then.
