Unfortunately the homebrew cask is still Intel-only so it requires Rosetta, whereas the conda/mamba version has an osx-arm64 build. There are other workarounds discussed here: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/46299 and here https://geo.malagis.com/native-qgis-on-apple-silicon-solutio...
Strongly recommend apple silicon Mac (if using a Mac) and the Mac ports path. I have an m4 MacBook Pro and the Rosetta powered binary was almost unusable. Mac ports wasn’t too hard for me to figure out though the install (mostly compiling) took several hours. I have had no issues with coexistence of Mac ports and homebrew. Don’t attempt this is you are using beta builds of tahoe - Mac ports isn’t released for Tahoe yet.
