MacOS Virtualization using VMware
I needed to install an unlocker from GitHub to enable options in the main screen.

[question] iPod Touch 3G stuck in recovery mode and unable to restore. Anyone knows what's wrong? I turned it off and on one day and now it's stuck on recovery mode and i can't restore it
Or a VM (Virtiual Machine here are examples: VirtualBox and VMware) to install older windows versions. Maybe even macOS,but for that you need a patcher.

I am trying to make a macOS 13 virtual machine by following the tutorial from techrechhard. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work.
So in other words, you did it wrong. First of all, avoid .VDMK's, you never know what's in them, use an .ISO. Preferably one created on a MAC. As for your choice of VM, VirtualBox is total shit for running MAC on, use VMware instead. You'll need to install it, then run the unlocker tool found here: https://github.com/paolo-projects/unlocker After that is done, create your virtual machine, but before booting, edit the .VMX file by adding the following lines at the bottom:
- MacOS in VMware?
- MacOS on VMware Workstation without Unlocker?

Best VM for running macOS
For me, Vmware Player ran the smoothest. For this you need the following, because virtualization of MacOS on non-MacOs devices is not supported by Vmware: https://github.com/paolo-projects/unlocker.

Quickemu: Quickly run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux virtual machines

Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS
Multipass is pretty clutch for trivial VMs on MacOs for sure. I use it for a bunch of ssh jump boxes running vpns to different sites. The macOS build does not support custom images (lest not without [some truly insane hacks](https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/1260#issuecomm...) , which doesn’t really matter for what I use it for but it is kind of a bummer. If you need something with a little more grunt but don’t want to go full blown with writing your own QEMU tooling or fussing with something like UTM or Parallels, [quickemu](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu) is a really nice qemu wrapper with sane defaults that can expose a whole lot of power if you need it.

Thinking of purchasing a 4080 laptop and replacing W11 with KDE plasma
Overall, don't be afraid to switch distro (use Ventoy, load a few ISOs just in case), try to make sure you have an easy way of backing up your stuff (be it with a separate /home partition, or like I do with storing everything important in a separate drive and then using symlink to make it 'appear' in their 'default' places), and you can always use VM in a pinch (consult this guide or use quickemu or gnome-boxes)

Wanting to ditch windows 10 in favor of linux
In case some things you do absolutely needs Windows, keep this guide for setting up VM in mind, or use quickemu's GUI.

DistroSea- Test drive Linux distros online
VM will be shutdown automatically when it's inactive for a while. I will eventually add more distros going forward. Most distro isos are downloaded using the quickget script from the wonderful quickemu project. You may directly contribute to the upstream project to get the distro added to DistroSea.
