alt Hacker NewsI wish it was possible to see macOS running well on Linux, but there are a lot of loopholes to jump through to make that happen.
1. Apple makes running their software on non-Mac hardware illegal
2. For all the hate Windows gets, virtualizing it to run all over the place is normal and expected by industry at large… the same is only becoming recently true for macOS
3. There is a strong financial interest at Apple to get in the way of this as much as possible
4. Apple is trying to reinvent Docker so people stop using Docker on their Mac’s with their native “Apple Containers” implementation
Due to this… I foresee it taking a while for this to become common for mac apps + Linux

quickemu makes it pretty easy to launch macOS on kvm. I was able to launch it on my framework chromebook from the Linux terminal
macOS does in fact runs well* on Linux, see: https://github.com/dockur/macos
Edit: Well-ish, as there's no GPU acceleration as noted in the comments below.
