Is Rosetta Stone required to run Lightburn on a MacBook M1

I just bought a new (for me) 2022 MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip. I am also running MacOS Sonoma v14.3. I installed your 1.5 version as I have the 1.4xx running on my older MacBook Pro using an Intel’s i7 chip (2016). The installation went fine, but whenever I try to run it, I get the following.

To open “LightBurn”, you need to install Rosetta. Do you want to install it now?

Rosetta enables Intel-based features to run on Apple silicon Macs.
Reopening applications after installation is required to start using
Rosetta.

I can’t find any issues relating to this so I’m somewhat perplexed. Could this be a 1.5 issue?

Rosetta is required for any ARM based Macs. There is no current native ARM build on any platform.

Okay, nice to know. Guess I’ll just download Rosetta and move on. Thanks.
