I wish it was possible to see macOS running well on Linux, but there are a lot of loopholes to jump through to make that happen.

1. Apple makes running their software on non-Mac hardware illegal

2. For all the hate Windows gets, virtualizing it to run all over the place is normal and expected by industry at large… the same is only becoming recently true for macOS

3. There is a strong financial interest at Apple to get in the way of this as much as possible

4. Apple is trying to reinvent Docker so people stop using Docker on their Mac’s with their native “Apple Containers” implementation

Due to this… I foresee it taking a while for this to become common for mac apps + Linux

macOS does in fact runs well* on Linux, see: https://github.com/dockur/macos

Edit: Well-ish, as there's no GPU acceleration as noted in the comments below.

For some values of "well". No GPU acceleration means it's incredibly sluggish and plagued with rendering issues. There's also some sort of incompatibility around clock sources, which can result in the VM crashing during startup if you assign more than one core to it. There are ways around it but if you're unlucky enough they result in a massive perf hit.

This is cool, I'd be a bit hesitant to sign into my Apple Account with it though. I've had Apple shut down my account with Hackintosh's in the past.

quickemu makes it pretty easy to launch macOS on kvm. I was able to launch it on my framework chromebook from the Linux terminal

[freedomben]

a bit off-topic, but how do you like the framework chromebook? Very seriously considering one. I have several frameworks running Fedora, but my daughter really wants a chromebook...

[moondev]

I really like it actually. It's a powerhouse with 64G RAM and NVME.

Crostini and Android apps make it really versatile. I run the dev channel and there are all kinds of interesting features and experiments to play with. Arch instead of Debian for crostini.

Was really disappointed when framework discontinued it, but it seems like chromeos is converging into Android.

The flip side is that we now have crostini for Android. Chromeos android subsystem has not been updated to be able run it if you are wondering, heh.
