How did you get on, did you get it up and running?

I bought and installed the X server and got it as far as booting Clover and the original BaseImage.img, but it would hang a ways into the text boot at one of the meeting/rendezvous/sync points in startup. So close, but so far!

Appreciate the write-up! I may give it another shot on the AMD when it enters Beta... I've been waiting on AMD sub-virtualization just for WSL2 under HyperV for a while now!

  1. I actually gave up on Clover and went with opencore with a different script github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM

And THEN,

  1. Using the config.plist that they provided ( and they admitted it needed work ) I spent a good hour getting it tweaked with:
    opencore.slowgeek.com/

  2. After that it was a matter of selecting which virtual "CPU" I wanted and I think I selected Skylake-Client?
    mankier.com/7/qemu-cpu-models#Desc...
    This list is to select what the cpu is that's being mimiced in the VM, and NOT what hardware model you have on your host machine.

  3. Not to brag, but it's freaking Blazing fast now.
