I understand that Home Assistant is not attempting to document the process of using UTM to install on Apple Silicon machines. That said, I think it would be helpful to add a small expansion to the existing note of

If VirtualBox is not supported on your Mac, and you have experience using virtual machines, you can try running the Home Assistant Operating System on UTM.

to help people understand that qcow2 format disk images of an aarch64 platform version of Home Assistant OS even exist.

I say this as someone who looked through this exact document, and converted the vmdk to qcow2 and got Home Assistant running as an Emulated x64_64 version before understanding that an aarch64 qcow2 image was even an available option. Knowing that would have made my install much easier!

My suggest would be to add a second sentence to this bullet here saying something like: "Note aarch64 QCOW2 images are available"
