Nice writeup! I had recently installed macos on virtualbox using this repo github.com/myspaghetti/macos-virtu.... I was wondering, if running it through KVM improves any performance. Though, I have also installed macos on qemu on a Linux distro, and it is more performant than the virtualbox one. Have you ever tried the virtualbox solution?

Hey Piyush, I haven't tried the virtualbox solution, my understanding is KVM should give you an increase, but if you're working with really old hardware, there is a limit to what you can achieve. Your link has this section - github.com/myspaghetti/macos-virtu... which seems to suggest that this may be the case. Just to add, I love virtualbox as a goto for new users, so easy to manage :)
