Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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]

Cheap gpu for system?
Yes but that's a different kettle of fish. You then don't need two gpus, although if you do it can be useful. Start here and see how deep the rabbit hole goes https://github.com/joeknock90/Single-GPU-Passthrough

How to disable nvidia drivers?
Im assuming you're on a single gpu setup and, as such are trying to do single gpu passthrough with a single nvidia card. so you'll likely have to run some libvirt hooks or smth to run scripts to unbind your gpu once you start your vm. In which case id suggest going through these two guides 1 2 which go over completely passing through your single gpu when you start your vm

How to install hooks (for GPU passthrough)
Out of curiosity, who is Muta, the video dude, or the guide writer, or someone else? From the GitHub it sounded like running the commands from the guide would create a qemu.d/[VM Name]/prepare/begin/start.sh . If I were to simply create those directories myself, and then script as described in the video, I should be good?
