  • macOS-Simple-KVM

    Tools to set up a quick macOS VM in QEMU, accelerated by KVM.

  • I'm trying out https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM and followed the README exactly. Everything initially seems to install, run, etc, but after some time (30+ minutes?) the OSX guest freezes. It captures my mouse/keyboard input, but there's no response from the guest. strace on the qemu process spews out this:

  • OSX-KVM

    Run macOS on QEMU/KVM. With OpenCore + Monterey + Ventura + Sonoma support now! Only commercial (paid) support is available now to avoid spammy issues. No Mac system is required.

  • I've tried multiple OSX versions and even https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM, but it has the same result - OSX stops responding after some time and strace hows that QEMU is stuck with the EAGAIN error.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
