    Virtualize macOS 12 and later on Apple Silicon, VirtualBuddy is a virtual machine GUI for macOS M1, M2, M3

    • Comparing the example you've linked and the source code[1], it looks like that's exactly what this tool is doing.

    Except, of course, this tool also adds a GUI and easy configuration options.
