[BUG] manim-slides no longer work on M1 chip about manim-slides HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @HadiSDev, thank you for your feedback, and I'm very sorry to see that it breaks on M1 chips.

Did you already check that discussion? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65901162/how-can-i-run-pyqt5-on-my-mac-with-m1chip-ppc64el-architecture

I'm not on a Mac computer, but I will try to create a pipeline to test if it works on M1 chips too.

Hi @HadiSDev! Looks like PySide6 has support for M1 chips. Would you mind testing installing pip install pyside6?

If it works, I might try to move from PyQT5 to PySide6, since they apparently share most of their API.

Hi @jeertmans. I have tried to install pyqt5 locally as instructed in the link provided but pip still tries to install it its own way regardless. I think that any arm chip should have the same issue but I have not checked that to be sure.

For the moment, GitHub actions do not support M1 chips (see #2187). I have looked at alternatives, such as CircleCI, but they also lack support for M1 chips.

As such, I'm afraid it's hard for me to test anything related to M1 chips.
If you can, I would really appreciate if you find a solution, so that it can be documented here.
