I don’t know. Just run Linux in a VM on macOS. What exactly is Apple not permitting you to do? Asahi would have 100x more adoption if it was about better virtualization of Linux on macOS. It would be a DIFFERENT product and I guess that’s the point, right?

  You cannot uninstall Apple Music. That alone is alienating.

    You cannot uninstall Music.app indeed. There is one toggle that hides all of Apple Music. It completely hides it, to the point that a link online to the service will error out.

        I assure you that toggle is still present to remove Apple Music in the latest version of macOS. It's unchecked on my Mac as I type this.

    IMO, the benefits of an immutable OS install outweigh being able to uninstall/remove particular apps.

      do the benefits of a closed-source OS outweigh being able to do whatever you want?

      Apple makes excellent hardware (laptop, phone, mini...) to the point I'm willing to pay more for it, but I would prefer a lot to customize my SW. And so I avoid their hardware.

I tried this for a virtualized full screen gnome desktop environment but the latency was unbearable. I also couldn't get passthrough of command/caps lock etc to the virtual machine stable. Finally connecting an USB device (like a yubikey) didn't work seamless.
