> In case you think that the two apps can be used together to run more than two macOS VMs at the same time, I’m afraid that macOS remains one step ahead of you, and enforces Apple’s licence limit across virtualising apps. Is this true for all VMs or just VMs running macOS? (How) does the OS know what operating systems the guests are running?

It knows because it's going through the MacOS Virtualization framework. There isn't a similar limit for Linux guests. It's probably actually really easy to 'enforce' because the method for starting a MacOS VM is completely different than Linux: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/vzmacplatformconfiguration https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/vzm...

  Yet another example of how macOS is slowly being dumbed down to be more ios like by restricting kernel extensions and forcing developers to use their limited OS APIs.
