macOS-Simple-KVM VS macOS-KVM

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.

Does this guide solely focus on a bare metal install, or can I apply it to Hackintosh in virtual machines too? Used bare-metal for a few years but I’ve been trying to get a personalized kvm/OC config for my Monterey & Big Sur guests in proxmox 7. Both macOS versions boot and are decent but I do wish a host-setup like; https://github.com/johncolby/macOS-KVM. Instead of the more general approach; https://github.com/thenickdude/KVM-Opencore, https://github.com/Leoyzen/KVM-Opencore . Not to discredit either of them, I wouldn’t have a booting macOS without their guidance, but I’d like to tinker with it a bit further

You can look at this resource - https://github.com/johncolby/macOS-KVM. He links a couple of other guides- you should start with them first.

I went with a different case, AMD mini-ITX motherboard, and KVM VM rather than bare metal hackintosh, but if you want to check out my setup it is here: https://github.com/johncolby/macOS-KVM https://pcpartpicker.com/b/ZGn7YJ

i boot using opencore 0.6.5 with the config.plist from https://github.com/johncolby/macOS-KVM
