How to run macOS on Linux (without too much hassle supposedly)
I had been waiting for a really long time for that video by the Linux Experiment (really good Linux youtuber) which is also available there: https://tilvids.com/w/bLPmGvqHd69ANdPdhRZXWV .
Sadly, as I'm on Fedora, there are a few differences from Ubuntu (DNF instead of APT) and I can't use the PPA from the github links ( https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickgui/releases?page=1 , https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu?tab=readme-ov-file ).
I'm sure it's easy once you get to the beginning of the video but since I can't install quickgui and I'm stuck.
It would be really nice if I could get some help as I'm sure it's fairly easy for someone more knowleadgable than me.
I should just add that I don't even really know what DNF, APT and PPA are. I just know it's related to my problem.
Edit: Basically I’m stuck at the part where you have to use the terminal to install quickgui with these lines
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannick-mauray/quickgui sudo apt update sudo apt install quickgui
@Dariusmiles2123 I think the question is more, WHY would you want to run macos on #Linux
Because my employer forces me to have an iPhone and I’d want to be able to back it up.
Also I’d want to learn how to use MacOS a little bit.
But I ain’t leaving the Linux boat at all😇
For the former use case, have you considered a dedicated solution? For example: https://libimobiledevice.org/
@Dariusmiles2123 Damn, good luck with your employer. Some force their workers to have #fairphone phones to lower their impact, others force to have apple phones to ... uh ... well, not the same world.
From what I have seen, running an apple VM is completely feasible but painful and uses pretty much all your memory :/
My employer is the state of Geneva and I guess someone high up loves iPhone and managed to squeeze that in a budget. They don’t care about the fact it’s expensive as it’s not their money 🙁
I’d clearly prefer a fairphone but maybe it’s more difficult to run as a fleet and to impose restrictions on what an employee can do.
I need to compile some code for Linux and Mac.
XCode doesn't run on Linux or Windows. You need to either buy a Mac or run it in a VM.
I think usually people need it for a specific use-case. I maintain a GUI app for Linux, Windows and macOS. All I need to do is generate and test a binary sometimes.
My work VPN works on Linux but my company only paid for the Windows and Mac licenses. So the binary tells me it won't work.
You could try manually configuring a native VPN client.
It's proprietary protocol so no
