Creating a separate comment for this idea, but would virtualizing other versions of MacOS/iOS on say a Mac Mini so you can do multiple versions (And maybe iOS, by extension) and such in parallel would ostensibly be legal As long as you're running Asahi Linux as your Host OS

Can you expand on that? Why does it have to be a mac Mini? And why the asahi distro?

Sorry just genuinely curious and dont know myself

The mini is usually cost competitive as an entry Mac, and one doesn't need a fancy screen to drive up the price

Well, in the context of this specific repo, one needs docker which needs Linux but generic Linux on Mac hardware can be iffy about having all the hardware working. I've never tried Asashi in order to speak to it but I believe that's one of their goals
