Yes, I recently had to compile some stuff on Windows (I'm on an AMD Linux host) and VirtualBox just wouldn't start Microsoft's Windows dev VM (the one they provide for free for Virtualbox). I ended up learning how to use qemu and it works great...and as a bonus I was able to run a hackintosh (via https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM) and it works near flawlessly, which was something I was never able to accomplish with Virtualbox (granted I haven't tried in a few years).
I'm pretty happy with Qemu now, even if it's jsut a CLI interface. I was tempted to try the virt-* stuff, but honestly it seems like one more thing to learn so I'm going to hold off until I need something like copy/paste between VMs and can't figure it out in qemu direct.
I'm a 30 year linux veteran and windows free for over 22. I di d have a windows vm for some time because I have some music stuff that doesn't work with linux, like a nord keyboard and some guitar stuff.
But i burnt the vm with fire when I found https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM
Project mention: Proxmox VE: Import Wizard for Migrating VMware ESXi VMs | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-27https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu
Project mention: OpenCore from USB does not find MacOS installation partition on SSD after first reboot | /r/hackintosh | 2023-11-29- Xiaomi Notebook Pro laptop (Kaby Lake) - Two SSDs. Existing one has a Windows / Linux dual-boot. Second SSD is dedicated to this new MacOS install. - Created a bootable online installation USB with OpenCore and MacOS Ventura. - Used https://github.com/daliansky/XiaoMi-Pro-Hackintosh EFI. I know this is not recommended, but it is a regularly maintained "release" - and I did re-read all the relevant sections of the DortianaOpenCore guide, especially whatever relates to the issue I am having. For what it's worth, the prebuilt EFI targets the same OC version I am using (0.9.6).
Mainly this https://github.com/PIut02/ROG-Zephyrus-G14-GA401-Hackintosh. It has all the necessary reference repos. I needed some extra features, followed below repos. To make somethings works - https://github.com/ChefKissInc/NootedRed https://github.com/jwise/HoRNDIS https://github.com/b00t0x/ROG-Zephyrus-G14-GA402-Hackintosh
Project mention: Ventrua on Proxmox with GPU passthrough, Couldn't alloc class "AppleKeyStoreTest" | /r/Proxmox | 2023-05-27The EFI folder is the same as v20 here
What works: - CPU power management using this kext. Battery life is not great, but I haven't checked what can be done to improve it yet. - USB tethering from an Android phone as a workaround for having Wi-Fi since iOS only allows to do USB tethering with mobile data. If you need it as well, check this kext out. - Hardware acceleration thanks to NootedRed. - iServices. - Built-in speakers. - All USB ports. - HDMI video. - Ethernet. - Keyboard. - Trackpad.
I don't know about Intel CPUs but if you have Amd CPU look here and scroll down to Post Installation.
Project mention: This badboy got decommissioned because one loosy keycap. Got it for free, bought an SSD in it and installed MacOS Venture with Windows 11 Dual-boot. | /r/thinkpad | 2023-07-10You will need to gather info on your specific hardware. For X1 Carbon 6th gen here is a general guide for the kexts: https://tylernguyen.github.io/x1c6-hackintosh/
Project mention: Proxmox VE: Import Wizard for Migrating VMware ESXi VMs | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-27This works pretty well for running macOS on Linux:
https://github.com/notAperson535/OneClick-macOS-Simple-KVM/
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. :)
