Anyone using MacOS on Virtual Machines? Thoughts and what are your use cases?
I installed VMs of MacOS like Mojave or Catlina and others to test its capabilities.
What are your use cases?

So just buy a supported got for a hundred bucks. You typically need a second gpu to do pass through anyway since your system can’t share gpu among the two resources
To compile my own React Native projects with XCode, I'm using Sequoia on VMWare.
VMs used to be a good sandbox, but physical disks have been cheap forever that it's been better to just sandbox on an external USB drive.
There is one good use case for macOS on a VM. If you bemoan that you don't have a real Mac to get started with hackintosh, you can always create a macOS VM (VirtualBox natively supports macOS guest with no hack needed) and create a USB macOS installer.
How’s the graphic acceleration

I use MacOs on a VmWare VM on my work PC so I can use iMessage during the day, without having to use my phone or have a MacBook nearby… it’s really convenient. I use Catalina on VMware Workstation Player 16.
I’ve been curious about this one too. I have a brand new 14th GEN I seven and a 4080 super I feel like it should be able to run macOS virtually so I don’t have to build a Macintosh or buy a Mac hopefully
Too much laggy & bugs.
Each time have to install VMware tool.
I use mine for a blue bubbles server
I used MacOS as a VM under Proxmox, with a passedthrouh RX570. I didn’t really have a use case for it, I just wanted to take the challenge to try it
Sonoma with rx570 and some other passthrugh stuff on AMD Proxmox. It is my 24h primary desktop.
