• Proxmox Bootloop macos 13
  1 project | /r/macOSVMs | 29 Dec 2022
• MacOS KVM GPU Passthrough Hangs
  4 projects | /r/VFIO | 7 Nov 2022
• Catalina on the desktop proxmox?
  1 project | /r/Proxmox | 9 Oct 2022

  If that's my OpenCore ISO, I rechecked High Sierra recently with v18 and it boots fine.

• Bare Metal vs Virtualization dual boot
  2 projects | /r/hackintosh | 27 Jul 2022

  The mid/hard way would be to have a powerful PC like I did recently, switch to Linux as the host, and use it as your main OS and then for specific stuff, turn on the Windows or OSX machines. The problem here is that you have to deal with Linux and its quirks... editing files with the terminal, sudo, setting up QEMU, editing the libvirt XML files (or create your own bash scripts for QEMU) and so on... It feels like a hassle sometimes, and getting OSX to work in a virtual environment is a hit or miss - there's a few projects out there that can help) but then getting them to work is like running a command and having it contained in its own "window" and you can also share files between the host and the VM almost seamlessly.
