From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How to run macOS on Linux (without too much hassle supposedly) (www.youtube.com)

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

I haven't watched that video, but I just followed the instructions on OSX-KVM and it was a breeze, took a few hours to install though.

I’ve tried it a while ago and I couldn’t get to the end of the installation process as it was saying « internet connection required » (when clearly I had one outside of the VM)

I had that problem with some versions of macOS, but not Big Sur

[–] Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well I tried and managed to install Big Sur but it’s not displaying my iPhone (for backups).

Since it was my main purpose for getting MacOs, it’s a bit useless.

Yeah, logging into iCloud is a whole nother thing, you have to spoof an Apple device and it's really complicated. I just wanted it for Safari though, so it worked for me.

How can an OS take so long to install?

[–] ForgotAboutDre@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

It's relatively recent that OS can be installed in such a short time. MacOS isn't officially supported for installing on these systems so there process used here isn't going to be well optimised. Apple only care about installing MacOS on their own hardware, which is likely quick when they do it in production and slow elsewhere.
