  Tools to set up a easy, quick macOS VM in QEMU, accelerated by KVM. Works on Linux AND Windows.

This works pretty well for running macOS on Linux:

Mostly used it when trying to track down reported macOS bugs in stuff for an OSS project, so maybe once every few months. But it's worked quite well at those times. :)

  Voilà, install macOS on ANY Computer! This is really and magic easiest way!

I run macOS/OSX Sonoma in Proxmox. It does pcie/gpu passthrough (AMD rx580 8gb). The proxmox host is running a AMD Ryzen 7 5700G cpu and has 64gb memory. The mac vm disks are on a zfs fs on a wd black nvme ssd.

It's the fastest mac I've ever owned and it's virtual, executed on a machine running a chip that apple never supported, and you'd never be able to tell it was a vm unless you were told so. kvm and vfio are amazing pieces of software.

I would love to see a serious comparison (features & performance) between VMWare ESXi, Proxmox VE and let's say a more stock RHEL or Ubuntu. And maybe even include FreeBSD/bhyve.

Because yes, in terms of core functionality it should be in the same ballpark. And in terms of UI, Virtual Machine Manager [0] was not that bad.
