#2Is virtualizing aarch64 macos via qemu on aarch64 Linux within the realm of possibility? I know it can be done for x86-64, but would be pretty cool if an aarch64 kvm hackintosh would be possible. I have an Nvidia Jetson AGX and honeycomb lx2 which in theory could be up to the task.

There are additional instructions only available on Apple chips beyond the aarch64 standard, so I don't think that this could be done in hardware (someone correct me if I'm wrong because this isn't my area)
Of course it's possible in software in principle but obviously that would be awful.

#4Note that this is using Apple's Virtualization.framework to do the heavy listing.

I'd be way more excited about a stable and fully featured Linux port to M1+

It's probably about as possible as emulating anything else with qemu, which is to say, definitely possible after some more development effort.
Some interesting discussions on HN from when the M1 first came out:

The Hackintosh community emulated SSE2/3 to allow OS X to run on CPUs that didn't have those extensions, and AFAIK it worked reasonably well:

#8Anyone using Parallels to virtualize MacOS on M1 Macs?
Re: VirtualBuddy: Virtualize macOS 12 and later on Apple Silicon
#9This looks like a better open-source option:

#10Anyone using Parallels to virtualize MacOS on M1 Macs?
Yes, I am. It's quite smooth. It has its problems, but for the most part its alright. What did you want to explore further about this?
Edit: many people download the default parallels; you need to download the parallels from this page https://www.parallels.com/blogs/parallels-desktop-apple-sili... to be able to have access to M1 virtualization.
