Is thhere any way to use OS X on a Pi?
Asking for a friend
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoTechnically it should be possible, since Darwin at least used to run in qemu. But... it's gonna suck performance-wise, since you're emulating x86_64 on AArch64, and of course I don't need to remind you of the legal issues. And, for that matter, that we're basically talking about a hackintosh VM, so don't expect long-term stability.
- askvictor 6y agoOnce OSX on ARM arrives, this would be a lot easier; however, I'd expect Apple's silicon would be a lot newer (and have more instructions) than the rpi's, so it might not end up being possible/feasible.
- agustif 6y agoNice one, can't wait to try it! hope hackintosh is still a thing then
- loxias 6y agoI've run OS X on a very low powered Debian box before. I'd wager it could be made to run on a raspi 4 (VERY SLOWLY) with sufficient effort. (you'd have to use qemu TCG, not KVM). It would be easier to run on a SBC that uses an x86_64 chip, like the Atomic Pi, or LattePanda. I'm curious though, why in the world would you ever want to run OS X so slowly?
- agustif 6y agoWe just need to run one app (OmniPlan) which is OS X exclusive in our Windows work machines. We would get in via RDP or such I guess?
- loxias 6y agoI bet I could do that. (or otherwise solve the problem.) My email address is on my profile, send me a note if you're interested in talking more.
