Isn't macos unix already?
@[email protected] It is certified to be UNIX, yes. But Linux is not UNIX. Not that it would matter if Linux was certified to be UNIX anyhow. UNIX is a certification that you go through and pay for. The kernel beneath is not necessarily binary compatible with other UNIX operating systems.

it's the year of the linux desktop without the year of the linux desktop.
It's everyday the year of Linux !

It supports Rosetta2, so yes.
Sweet, that will help me, although it takes away my last blocker allowing me to use my Linux box as my primary blocker.
I guess I will have to comain about performance or something.

Mac and Linux feel like cousins than ultra far apart at times.

So I guess now you can run some games.
Yeah, about that... Heroic game launcher is free and can run a loooooooot of pc games. It now runs pc steam directly.

If containers are part of your work then you wouldn't buy a 8GB RAM unupgradable device anyway.

virtio-gpu with Vulkan pass through for the VM with a Vulkan to Metal translator in host user space. There are various talks about this including at KVM forum: https://kvm-forum.qemu.org/2024/The_many_faces_of_virtio-gpu_F4XtKDi.pdf
Is Apple’s tech going to be using KVM machinery then, or are you just saying that it’s possible in general?

Oh that’s cool! I thought virtio and such were KVM-specific things. I have never been super clear on the relationship between QEMU and the hypervisor itself, like where one ends and the other begins.
