What does HackerNews think of quickemu?
Quickly create and run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux desktop virtual machines.
Language:
Shell
quickemu on Linux can spin up a macOS VM. https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu
$ quickget macos monterey
$ quickemu --vm ./macos-monterey.conf
RDP is really quite impressive. I host Windows VMs on a Linux server. With quickemu[0] you can fire up a Windows Vm in minutes. It fetches the ISO, sets everything up - even breezes through setup, creates a user, does KMS for activation, etc. One command and a few minutes later you're looking at a Windows desktop. Setup Remote Desktop (with SSH forwarding or VPN of course) and you have a remarkably responsive (even at 4k single and dual display) GUI experience and powerful remote connection - file sharing, sound forwarding, clipboard sharing, even printers and arbitrary devices.
Checking out the creator's videos of quickemu[0] now, seems close!
Doesnt the quickemu project do some of this automagically? https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu
See also quickemu which has support for launching macOS using information largely taken from this and similar repositories as well as Windows with TPM and enables all the good features:

There is also another promising project called docker-osx which has the best documentation around doing the serial number generation to make iMessage etc work (you can use it in combo with most other methods but the docs are often confusing when I looked about a year ago): https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX
Quickemu already does this and many more operating systems too. https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu
