UTM

Are the primitives not already there?[0] I don't see why we cannot build an app that when connected to an external monitor switches to a "Desktop Environment". Maybe, even a hacked version of UTM[1] that exposes a fully functional OS on the monitor. [0] https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/presenting-c... [1] https://github.com/utmapp/UTM

Standard Debian-with-root Arm package repo in pKVM hardware-nested VM with OpenGL (v)GPU remoting! So many years of upstream work across Linux, Android and ChromeOS to make this possible. Now we need phone/tablet OEMs to support Android Virtualization Framework (AVF) and OpenTitan-derived enclaves, so this feature can move beyond Pixel hardware. https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2025/01/15/the-... > GFX virtualization aims at providing support for hardware accelerated 3D graphics in virtual machines. Unlike GPU-passthrough, with GFX virtualization the host and all VM guests can access the host GPU simultaneously. Vulkan and OpenGL are supported by virglrenderer using various approaches.. vDRM is a much thinner layer.. able to achieve native GPU performance, where VirGL and Venus may struggle to overcome expensive host/guest syn

In case others were similarly confused, I thought that UTM was commercial but it is Apache 2 https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/blob/v4.6.5/LICENSE

> I would love to see an emulator that could run later OS versions like Tiger. UTM. https://github.com/utmapp/UTM

You need to provide details as you're specifically talking about macOS virtual machines and the licensing limit Apple imposes. The answer is no. https://khronokernel.com/macos/2023/08/08/AS-VM.html https://kb.parallels.com/128867 https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/issues/5563
