macOS-Simple-KVM VS OpenCorePkg

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.

His github project " https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM "

git clone https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM.git /home/Downloads

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.

Here's a large example with nested arrays and dicts, integers, strings, etc:

The hackintosh community has tools to generate those #s. e.g. https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/tree/master/Utili...

OpenCore 0.9.7 is out. You can get it from Acidanthera.

OpenCore 0.9.6 is out. Although there is only 1 change in config.plist (useful only for Max OS X 10.4 and 10.5), the code continues to receive improvements and fixes.https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases

I just installed MacOS Ventura yesterday on a 2013 MacBook Pro by using OpenCore. Worth checking out if you haven’t already considered it: https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg#readme

IF you don't have opencore downloaded, don't download from their link, go directly to the dortania guide here and download version 0.9.2: https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases/

You also seem to be using an older version of OpenCore, so updating that would be a good idea if you get the GPU issue sorted.

This is due to OpenCore getting confused when trying to boot Windows and accidentally thinking it's booting OpenCore. This can be avoided by either move Windows to it's own drive or adding a custom drive path under BlessOverride. See Configuration.pdf (opens new window)for more details.
