macOS supports running as a paravirtualised guest OS (officially, on an apple-hardware host also running macOS). If there is to be a "next gen" of hackintoshing, I think it'd be based on a cut-down linux host acting as a shim between the real hardware and the paravirt interface.

"This patch set introduces a new ARM and HVF specific machine type called "vmapple". It mimicks the device model that Apple's proprietary Virtualization.Framework exposes, but implements it in QEMU."
- Asooka 3y agoIt would be interesting to see how feasible it is to run that on an Arm workstation, e.g. an Ampere Altra. Or going the other way and trying to squeeze macOS on to the latest Raspberry Pi.
- jayd16 3y agoWould be cool and ironic to get the full Macos on Android hardware.
- carlosjobim 3y agoI would pay at least $100 to have MacOS running on an Android tablet.
- mdaniel 3y agoLucky you, that's how much they used to charge when one could actually, no kidding, buy Snow Leopard. I paid it so that my hackintosh (on HP Mini) wasn't stolen and I still have the CD-ROM, which shows you how long ago they cared about making the OS a purchasable thing
- m463 3y agoI was about to say that VMs will always be wanted.
- hamandcheese 3y agoOne thing I've been on the hunt for is a good server hypervisor solution for Apple Silicon. I would like to put an Apple Silicon Mac Mini in my rack, and it would be really nice to have a minimally bootstrapped host OS running a handful of macOS VMs for various purposes. The best I'm aware of currently is UTM which has some scripting capabilities. But that is very far off from the experience with Proxmox.

- hamandcheese 3y agoI think you missed the "Apple Silicon" part of my comment.

- DrNosferatu 3y agoCame here to write what the parent is saying: exploit the virtualization route to trick MacOS into running on the target hardware.
