We'll see how to run full Linux distributions and some cool new features. And finally, we'll do a second deep dive, this time into Linux.
We'll see how we can set up a virtual Mac and install macOS into it. We will start with an overview of virtualization technologies, and we'll see how to use Virtualization framework to build virtual machines. This may seem a little ambitious, but stick with us, and we'll do it together. By the end of this session, you will be able to do the same on your own Mac. We'll see how you can run macOS and Linux inside virtual machines, on Apple silicon. This is what we are going to do together today. kext onto the currently supported amework - moot unless Apple ever migrates back to x86 processors in the future.Benjamin Poulain: Hi everyone, and welcome to our session about virtualization. So that makes the other big pressing question - whether or not they ever intended to move off their deprecated custom. I don't think that an ARM port (or a PowerPC, or a Sparc, or a ) will ever happen." The team has apparently always been solely focused on the one CPU architecture and has indicated they will continue that tradition for Apple Silicon as well. (My conclusion here is based on the verdict among moderators of its forum that an ARM port would be completely unpossible and another moderator of the VirtualBox forums closed this ticket with "VirtualBox is an x86 emulator. Since an M1 box is not an x86 box, VirtualBox will no longer be relevant to Mac users going forward for any guest OS. That is: only x86 guests running only under x86 hosts. Despite its generic-sounding name and its temporary usefulness to Apple customers throughout the 10.4.4–10.15.3 eras of OS X and macOS, the VirtualBox developers are focused solely on x86 virtualization (excluding x86 emulation). Oracle® VM VirtualBox™ will not support this.I did find this post walking through various Monterey installation workarounds for Fusion but it's unclear if they work in the M1 or only the Intel case.
The latest September 2021 version (v0.4) of their testing guide for their Tech Preview still lists a "macOS Guest VM" as "Not currently supported".
Does any product or demonstration exist for the same on an Apple Silicon (M1) Mac?įor its part, VMWare's most recent public update included a bullet point to run macOS within a virtual machine hypervisor running on macOS. On an Intel Mac it was poss ible and legal to run a "Mac-on-Mac" VM, i.e.
