mbp-manjaro-kernel VS macOS-Simple-KVM

Well actually, the Arch/Manjaro developers *did not* do this as the T2 Security Chip is not something the stock linux kernel is equipped to deal with. If you checkout https://t2linux.org/, you'll see the real heros of our story - the team who has been researching and developing custom drivers to work around this nightmare Apple has brought down upon us. Everything from rewriting kernel modules, to rewriting the Calamares installer itself - and even building custom drivers for things such as the Ambient light sensor and touch bar. As much as I love the Manjaro and Arch folks, no one as even come close to including this in the default installation. Check out https://github.com/jpyke3/mbp-manjaro-kernel as well :D

I'm a 30 year linux veteran and windows free for over 22. I di d have a windows vm for some time because I have some music stuff that doesn't work with linux, like a nord keyboard and some guitar stuff.

But i burnt the vm with fire when I found https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM

I've heard a lot of buzz for MacOS-Simple-KVM but I see there hasb't been an update in 3 years.

You could always get a regular PC laptop, install linux on it and run your macos/windows vms via https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM qemu kvm, supports full hardware acceleration and should be able to do nested vms just fine, i run a macos vm on my desktop for work and a hardware accelerated windows vm for gaming

Then, i came across this tool https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM. However, it seems like it's asking me to install a different package for QEMU. sudo apt-get install qemu-system qemu-utils python3 python3-pip. Thankfully, I was able to create a Mac VM with this tool.

You can virtualize mac os, but I would call it easy

I did the Windows passthrough with some problems but I got it to work and then I attempted MacOS for fun and it went down hill from there. Following this guide https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM I installed it no problem without passthrough then realised my 3060ti wouldn't work so I installed an old RX580 laying around and decided to passthrough that, when I did it hung, tried blacklisting the AMD drivers on host, amongst other things and I couldn't get it to work. I then switched to this guide using clover https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM as I heard that might work and nope it hung again.
