macOS-Simple-KVM VS OSX-PROXMOX

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.

I run macOS/OSX Sonoma in Proxmox. It does pcie/gpu passthrough (AMD rx580 8gb). The proxmox host is running a AMD Ryzen 7 5700G cpu and has 64gb memory. The mac vm disks are on a zfs fs on a wd black nvme ssd.

It's the fastest mac I've ever owned and it's virtual, executed on a machine running a chip that apple never supported, and you'd never be able to tell it was a vm unless you were told so. kvm and vfio are amazing pieces of software.

A good place to start: https://github.com/luchina-gabriel/OSX-PROXMOX

Resources: https://www.youtube.com/@HarveysVE That channel explains and demonstrate a lot of thing about Proxmox and Hackintosh. The most I do not explored yet https://github.com/luchina-gabriel/OSX-PROXMOX That is project of person from my country who run a Youtube Channel talking only about Hackintosh, Ryzentosh and Virtualized. The only problem at least on Youtube is that he don't speak english! But don't worry I can help you with his project if you need. That is the project who automate the process of Hackintosh on Proxmox that I told you earlier. good stuff! https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads/category/iso-images-pve Proxmox ISO Download

Proxmox is very easy with OSX-PROXMOX. If you are more advanced and understand linux, just go with any distro you are comfortable with but Arch/Fedora worked the best for me in the past and use OSX-KVM. Then there is Unraid for which there exists pretty simple Hackinabox scripts to get it working and very simply so but Unraid is a paid OS.

Here's my config, but its a standard config source, but heres the config anyway config
