"The hardware virtualization is enabled in the acceleration section of the system page although it is not supported by the host system. it should be disabled in order to start the virtual system." How to solve this error??

I am trying to install Ubuntu 20.04 in the VirtualBox (I am using Macbook Air M1). But whenever I am trying to install, I am getting the error "The hardware virtualization is enabled in the acceleration section of the system page although it is not supported by the host system. it should be disabled in order to start the virtual system." I don't know how to solve this issue. Can someone please help me to solve this?

Use UTM instead. Much easier to configure and has

several already prepped Linux VMs and has a nicely

done step by step to install Ubuntu.

https://mac.getutm.app/#:~:text=Unlike%20other%20free%20virtualization%20software%2C%20UTM%20was%20created,you%20expect%20as%20well.%20QEMU%20without%20the%20headache

I have tried a couple of the prepackaged Linux distros

and also installed Ubuntu and all seem quite snappy

on my M1 MacBook Air.

Besides, a quick check of the VB site shows no mention of M1 compatibility.
