KExt: Kernel EXTension.

AFAIK loading custom kexts has become harder since the launch of TouchID on macs, but for an average user its better to live inside the secure world of Apple's tight security controls & encryption - allowing Apple to claim security & privacy as core selling points.

Loading kexts require disabling SIP (System Integrity Protection).

Rosetta 2 makes x86_64 binaries run on Apple Silicon (arm64).

You can dive deep into Apple's platform security guide + arch: https://help.apple.com/pdf/security/en_US/apple-platform-sec...
