you can virtualize linux, you cannot virtualize macos. no, downloading sketchy images or hacking your virtualization software does not count.

    Well if you can only virtualize it on a computer that's already running macos I don't know how that's supposed to help.

      You can virtualize on a PC. Whether you may or not, depends whether you believe you own software. And how it helps when you do it on MacOS on Mac hardware is letting you do all the things you virtualize an OS for, from a fine GUI on a decent kernel.

        > all the things you virtualize an OS for One of the main things I "virtualize an OS for" is to use software that requires Platform A on a system that runs Platform B. Running "legit" (authorized) virtualized MacOS does not help me do that; I am only allowed to run Platform A on Platform A.
