Apple has documentation on installing OS X in a VM: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/ins...

While _this_ usecase obviously isn't officially supported, it does seem like they support VMs in some capacity officially.

This document is about running macOS in a VM on Apple's own hypervisor. Wouldn't this count as official support?
GP's 'this' refers to the submission, i.e. macOS in a container. (Aside: I hate 'a Docker', a Docker what? Image? Container? Registry?)
yeah, "a Docker" is incomplete and incorrect. and annoying. It could have been a character limitation, I guess, but edit it down so it makes sense instead of just ending the sentence prematurely.

"Do you have a Facebook? Or an insta?"

No one cares about correctness at all, anymore.

It's a Docker on the intertubes, I can't even.
Who calls it instagram? Like Reebok->RBK. Only old out of touch people say instagram or reebok
And that is how we descended to the madness of the word crypto.
I would have loved to ask Turning if he (p)owned any crypto, and then told him it was “up” 5% today.
I honestly don't know if that is sarcasm. If not I'm gleefully both old and out of touch :-)

P.S. For bonus points, ask me how I pronounce INXS :-D

It is and isn't. Just like the state of an electron. To truly know if it is sarcasm or not, it will cost you one cat.

However, it's no less serious than the GGP's arms in the air upsettedness about calling the 'gram insta. oops, see, i called it two different shortened names back-to-back. uh-oh, somebody's going to be upset!! ;-)

If you don't pronounce INXS as INXS, you're doing it wrong.

Edit: the name I just gave up trying to understand is Musk's kid's name. talking about a name that a kid will grow up to resent their parents about.

I pronounced it inks for the longest time
ig.. insta.. oh you mean instacart? or did you mean to say 'the gram' ?

These abbreviations are location/culture dependent. For example, here when you say "I'll app you", it means sending a message on whatsapp.

I wonder if that’s GPU accelerated, the last time I used a macOS VM on a Mac it wasn’t, but it wasn’t with the newest version of the hypervisor.
It is. There’s a paravirtualized Metal driver.
