Almost a decade ago, I released a hackintosh guide on running macOS 10.14 through a VM with an x86 host. A "Hackintosh" is the feat of running macOS on non-Apple hardware, and has a history dating back to the late 1980s. At the time KVM and PCI passthrough were relatively new technologies, and this guide provided near-native performance with GPU acceleration.
A few years passed by, and we saw Apple release the first ARM-based Mac in 2021, the M1 MacBook Air. The timing was impeccable, Intel was unable to create competitive processors (due to being stuck on the 14nm node), and Apple had powerful and efficient ARM chips already being shipped in their iPhones. The long battery life, the fanless design, the instant wake, what's not to like? The benefits of switching to ARM were clear, however to most, this was thought to be the final chapter in the hackintosh community. x86 versions of macOS would soon be discontinued, and the hackintosh community would slowly fade away. That day has come and the latest version of macOS 27 (Golden Gate) released this year is no longer compatible with x86...
