VirtualBox KVM Public Release
Yes, I recently had to compile some stuff on Windows (I'm on an AMD Linux host) and VirtualBox just wouldn't start Microsoft's Windows dev VM (the one they provide for free for Virtualbox). I ended up learning how to use qemu and it works great...and as a bonus I was able to run a hackintosh (via https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM) and it works near flawlessly, which was something I was never able to accomplish with Virtualbox (granted I haven't tried in a few years).
I'm pretty happy with Qemu now, even if it's jsut a CLI interface. I was tempted to try the virt-* stuff, but honestly it seems like one more thing to learn so I'm going to hold off until I need something like copy/paste between VMs and can't figure it out in qemu direct.

NixThePlanet - Run macOS, Windows and more via a single Nix command + nixosModules
Working on a patch to include it as a flake input instead of vendoring it in the repo, so this should no longer be true. I use the QCOW2s for OpenCore from osx-kvm that I have not figured out how to reproduce yet https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM/blob/master/OpenCore/OpenCore.qcow2

[PROJECT] Working on a project called ultimate-macOS-KVM!
For almost a year, I have been coding a little project in Python intended to piggyback on the framework of kholia's OSX-KVM project, known as ultimate-macOS-KVM, or ULTMOS.

VirGL
VirGL is definitely an interesting project, but all one has to do to get GPU passthrough working (from a Linux QEMU host to any guest OS) is: 1.) research a cheap, secondary GPU that is natively supported by the guest OS, 2.) plug such a secondary GPU into a PCIe slot on the host and hook it up to the primary monitor with a secondary cable (D-Sub vs. DVI, etc.), 3.) setup Linux to ignore the secondary GPU at boot and configure a QEMU VM for the GPU passthrough. The whole process takes perhaps one or two hours and as works flawlessly, with no stability issues. (Switching across the two GPU cables can be accomplished in software by using Display Data Channel /DDC/ utilities and switching keyboard/mouse can be accomplished by using evdev /event device/ passthrough.)

What are the current best methods for virtualizing MacOS on Linux?
I also see there is KVM-OSX which looks to be actively maintained, but I haven't heard anything about it.

Lima: A nice way to run Linux VMs on Mac
You can use qemu/libvirt/kvm on any Linux host to run macOS pretty easily these days[1]. I run Ventura on unraid with nvidea gpu passthrough and it’s been fairly painless.
You can also run macOS in docker, but it’s ultimately running through qemu/kvm as well[2]

Help needed, MacOS GPU-Passthrough!
As far as I can tell it is the doing the same thing as https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM but it just automates some steps and adds support for single-gpu passthrough. The vm with kholia's method works which makes me think the problem has to do with passing through the gpu since kholia uses spice/vga.

macOS Monterey Single Intel GPU Passthrough
Also, I tried following this guide instead OSX_GVT-D and created a boot.sh file with content as shown below: IGPU_PCIID="8086 1916" modprobe vfio_pci modprobe vfio echo 0000:00:02.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.0/driver/unbind echo $IGPU_PCIID > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/remove_id echo $IGPU_PCIID > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id modprobe -r i915 sleep 2 ./OpenCore-Boot.sh sleep 2 modprobe -r vfio_pci modprobe -r vfio modprobe i915
