    Running macOS legally requires real mac servers and a bespoke storage solution: https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/analysis/not-just-stac...

    A self-hosted macOS runner will be more economical in the long-run, if you have a spot you can hook it up at, or if you're fine doing things less than legally, you can use https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX.

    I don't know anything about Xwayland, but according there's this sentence in this socat writeup:

    > If you want to access an X server that does not provide -listen tcp (Xwayland) or just did not have enabled it during startup (like most likely your host Xorg), you can use socat to provide TCP/IP access.

    brew install --cask xquartz

    Or install from the project homepage [1]. Then just launch the X11 app. Note that it does require the application to be built for Mac - it’s not an emulator, just an implementation of the X11 APIs.

    I spent some (too much) time trying to get pretty much the same thing running using GOW [1]. Was quite a bit harder than I thought, requiring a hdmi dummy plug to get the xserver config right etc.

    Secondly I have this small script to handle automatic screen rotations: https://github.com/Quoteme/screenrotate It is just a few lines of code and should be easy to understand. In case you need help, you can ask me though. For it to work, you only need to have the drivers for rotation working (iio-sensor-proxy) and you might need to change the device names on the code, which you can find using lspci.
