What Hacker News says
3 sourcesThis works pretty well for running macOS on Linux:

Mostly used it when trying to track down reported macOS bugs for an OSS project, so maybe once every few months. But it's worked quite well at those times. :)
In Proxmox VE: Import Wizard for Migrating VMware ESXi VMsFor anyone curious, this seems to be one of the more popular easy Hackintosh-in-a-VM setup projects these days:
* https://github.com/notAperson535/OneClick-macOS-Simple-KVM
Works "out of the box" on Ubuntu, and apparently on Windows too thought I've not tried that.
I've used it on Ubuntu occasionally when trying to diagnose intel specific macOS weirdness for a side project, when the weirdness doesn't show up on the M1 mac mini.
