MAC vs. PC : + Does any M1 or M2 MacBook Air / Pro support nested virtualisation?
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

Beginner Questions about QEMU
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.

MacOS KVM GPU Passthrough Hangs
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.
