winbox-mac VS macOS-Simple-KVM

I use winbox-mac which works pretty well on my MacBook Pro M1.

There are even some folks, that packaged Winbox into mac .app, so it shows nice in finder and can be put into dock, like this: https://github.com/nrlquaker/winbox-mac

This wine-wrapped version works well for me: https://github.com/nrlquaker/winbox-mac.

I am not sure what is going on there, but I would check using Winbox first, there is a Mac build at https://github.com/nrlquaker/winbox-mac

Ive tested upstream wine64 running under Rosetta2 and its not very useful outside of very specific niche use cases (see winbox-mac)

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.

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.
